I ran (or should I say jog since I am so slow) 5 miles today. I did it in 61 minutes, about 2 minutes slower than last week, but hey some days it is like that. My husband was trying to pressure me to run faster , but I sai NO WAY! I know my pace, and I'm not trying to kill myself. He wanted to run a 10min/mile pace...Ugggh, no...that is not happening....at least not yet. Am I wrong? To me it seems impossible to go from a 12 min to a 10 min pace right now. I can do an 11:45 min pace if I am running 3 miles, and he's asking me to run 5 miles at a faster pace than that! After I finished running (he finished about 15 minutes earlier than I did), he said that he thinks that I can run at an 11 minute pace. Why can't he just understand that I am slow. Man, I'm just happy to be able to run 5 miles, and now he's harrassing me about speed. He said that he believes in me and nows that I can do it, he just thinks I need to push harder.Sure, I want to get faster, but I can't do it overnight. I feel if I go faster than I won't be able to do 5 miles, but I know I can do 5 miles at the pace I ran today and it was comfortable. Thursday I'm going to do some speed work on the treadmill (same thing that I posted earlier). Ladies, am I wrong, is it reasonable that I can run an 11 minute pace right now?
New Topic:
I have a Garmin watch and I just bought (like on Sunday) some new Asics Gel Keyano 13. I'm still testing them out. It was between the Asics and the Brooks Adrenaline Gt7s. Originally, I thought I was going to go for the Brooks, but I left with the Asics. But now you got me thinking about getting some Nikes. Man, I better get that Nano for my b'day.
Oh yeah, Bida, today is Tuesday (at least it is in Chicago). It's also Jennifer Hudson day out here....
