Monday was Week 9 Day 1 of the Couch-to-5K running plan. Each of the workouts this week is a single 30 minute run, with the goal of covering 5K (3.11 miles) in that time.
It was around 40 degrees for the run, and not bad weather overall. It’s nice that it is later each evening until the sun goes down, so I don’t have to rush to get out the door as much when I run after work.
Starting this week, I am no longer tracking my warm-ups. In fact, after W9D1, I am no longer going to be tracking my cool-down either. From here on out, it’s the run I care about the most, and therefore it’s just the run that I will be tracking.
Total (including run and cool-down) was 3.62 miles in 38:33 (10:39 pace). Run was 3.10 miles (argh!!!) in 30:01 (9:41 pace) with an average speed of 6.2 MPH and a max of 8.3 MPH. Cool-down was 0.52 miles in 8:31 (16:19 pace).
As you can see, I missed my 5K goal by about 36 feet. Doh!
