I had a killer long run today. It made up for the lame one last weekend. I set out to run 12 miles and ended up feeling so good I tacked on another mile for 13 total. I noticed that my easy, long run pace is now averaging 9:30/mile when last year I was at 10:30/mile. I see some progress and it makes me very happy.
Don't you just love those runs where you feel like you could keep running forever? This run makes up for the lousy one last week.

Wooo Hooo, go Weebs! That is fantastic. I *love* those runs where everything just clicks. Way to go!
13 miles, geesh, you sure you're not training for the full at CMM? :)
That's a good improvement.
Go Weebs! Damn, I wish I could run that pace! That's my sprint-for-a-mile-and-die pace.
Have fun at CMM! I was just looking at the cool medals for multiple Elite races today:

I grew up in Illinois! Left in '85, though.
Hey, I'm coming back after a sprained ankle. I love when I hit my time for the day, and I feel like I can go further. But then I want to, know I shouldn't and get sad. (although I did keep running once for an extra 5 min). But I also finish looking forward to my next run (tomorrow!) even more! BTW: You are one fast weeb....
Jen, I wanted to get a pretty good base down this time around so I don't get injured while incorporating some speed work. For the Madcity half, I think I got injured because I had never run more than 20 miles a week and not only was I increasing my mileage but doing speedwork AND hillwork, all in the same week.
I'm anxious to see what this year has in store for me.
Some progress?! That's amazing progress! Welcome to blogland!
