week 4 starting off with a BANG!

week 4, day 1

Today's goal: 6 miles at MP (marathon pace) = 9 min pace

I exceeded my goal today! Don't know how I did, but I did! I am soooo happy! Training has begun to pay off:) 6 miles in 52:10!
I ran faster than I had in quite some time (minus my 5k). Woohoo! I felt no sickness. But, I did have to stop 2 miles in to stretch my legs as I had some spasm occur behind my left knee. Also, the top of my right foot started to hurt ...may be time for some new running shoes.

Anyway, I am so thrilled with my accomplishment today. I think week 4 is off to a good start:)  Also, no P90X this week. I just completed 3 weeks of P90X weights. If I were following the entire program, it suggest 3 wks on, 1 week rest, more or less. So this week = rest week (from weights). It's nice being able to sleep in until 6am. Next week it's back to the grind with 5 am wake up calls!

Today's accomplishment: 6 miles at 8:41 pace!!!! (52:10)
