It's been a little bit since I posted an update...
Since it's a new year and I want to be able to see how far I've come when I look back on this later, I'm going to start adding monthly and YTD stats on a weekly basis, or at least try to keep up with that! So for the first 2 weeks of January (through Saturday the 12th anyway):
January miles-to-date: 24.3
2019 miles-to-date: 24.3
I didn't update on the last 2 runs of last week. Friday was 3 miles at EB (14:44) + strides. Splits were 14:19, 14:35, and 14:44. I tacked on the strides after the end of the 3rd mile because I really wanted to keep trying to get to the right pace. So total distance ended up being 3.28 miles in 47:12.
Saturday was 6 miles at LR (14:21). Splits were 13:51, 14:33, 14:06, 14:06, 14:25, and 14:22. It does get easier to slow down the farther I run.
We haven't committed yet (as in I haven't actually registered) but I think we're going to do a 5K (Austin Cupid's Chase) on February 9th. I have either a 5k race or a 5k time trial on the plan for that day, and an actual race sounds more fun (plus a medal and tee shirt!!) It looks like it's a bigger race than the ones we've done so far, so that could be a good experience as far as learning to run with a bigger crowd. The biggest race we've done to date had a field of a couple hundred, so no course crowding at all beyond the actual starting line.
