Captains log 05072013

Great Tuesday..  I woke up at 0430..  out of bed by 0445 and on the jog by 0530.  I woke up and immediately downed 16 oz of water and 8 oz of the odwalla blueberry smoothie.  Let my body digest the sugars and hit the pavement.

Being at work I cant post the route, I'll do it when I get home, but it is the one I have decided to base some progress on.  I have run it at least twice and this time I hit it hard.  I ran the first 1.7 miles without stopping.  I then walked about 1 to 2 minutes, ran for about 5 minutes, walked for about a minute, then finished off the 2.9 mile trek.  I forgot to start the timer but by calculating the songs from the iPod that I had listened to I got her done in ~28:04.  That folks is sub 10 or around 10 min mile.  That is almost a 5k in 30 minutes.  Unofficial I know but still an accomplishment I am proud of.  The best part is I had all my breath back within 1 minute of the cool down so I think my cardio is definitely getting much better.

I'm stoked..  I think this means that come Colfax marathon relay, which my part is alllllll downhill, I hope to run the whole 4 miles and get a respectable time in for my team.
Side note: I paid for a groupon for rugged maniac and never signed the wife and I up for actual race... doh!  So out $72 and no race as they now want $90 and not guaranteed to run with friends.  F that!  

You live you learn.
