Today I considered running to a 5K race and running home but John didn't want me running up 7th street and plus the total miles would have been too high. I ran 10 miles total but on the way back something happened to my Garmin, probably because I was hacking up a bug and hit a button turning off my Garmin. Either that or I just plain forgot to hit start again. My paces out were 9:17, 8:16, 8:15, 8:17, 8:26. On the way back I picked it up a little bit and probably ran 8:10's.
I've decided to revise my goal pace to 8:10's. The 8:00's weren't happening and I was getting discouraged. I hope if I can run 8:10's in training, then on race day I can hit the 8's. And if not, I have another half in February.
Happy Running!

Eeep bugs! I find when I run by the water they're really really bad. Not so much now that's it's cooling off around here though!
wow! those are quick times. good for you! all that protein/bugs you are eating is paying off :)
Yuck!
Maybe your Garmin swallowed a bug too.
Thanks for swinging by AND leaving your mark. As far as PIMNWS (Post Ironman Now What Syndrome) goes, I am pretty sure it is exactly the same for marathoners. You know.. that completely psycho thought that make you think about setting a new 10k PR, just a week after running Ironman. NOT good.
Beer Good. Fire bad.

Don't worry Chritina, your average pace will improve slightly.
While you were running you didn't need protein/bugs :)
Nave a nice training!
Post scriptum: thanks for your last comment on my blog and your kind words.
