5 miles Friday + Baseball Game Friday night + 7 miles Saturday + Bachelorette party Saturday night + Softball Sunday afternoon + great grilled food with Matt Sunday night = happy tired girl
I am doing well at sticking to my goal (of getting up in the morning with Matt & going for a run). (Mind you, I have had 1 day of my summer vacation so far) ;)
Friday morning I was up and running by around 7:30am. I went for a 5 mile run where I was able to run the entire thing in 56 minutes. This is about a 11:19 min/mile. I kept my average heart rate down to 160 bpm and burned 697 calories! I was even able to maintain a fairly consistent pace!
Saturday (after a fun night at the new National's Ball Park where we cheered on the Blue Jays) we were up and running in the morning. Matt ran (12 miles) with a friend and I left a bit after them. By 7:30am I was on my way for my 7 mile run. I did it in 1 hour 17 minutes. Averaging about a 11:00 min/mile. I did a 6:1 ratio. I averaged 166 bpm and burned 1024 calories. Around the 4.5 mile mark I struggled a little, but then I was able to push through it and continue. I ran the last mile straight in just under 9 1/2 minutes.
I need to take the time and go get new running shoes. I have blisters all over my feet. I was told about toe-socks for running which are supposed to help prevent blisters.
