My longest run to date July 15, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , trackbackI feel wonderful.
My running schedule this week has been all out of whack. I did manage 1.25 on Monday, but on Thursday I walked instead of ran. I figured that I would have a tough time on todays long run due to that. Now I was supposed to do 2.10 miles or so. That was my plan before this week started. My normal treadmill setting is 3.7 miles per hour. Due to how little I ran this week, I was worried about doing 1 mile let alone 2.1 so I decided to cover the display on my treadmill and put my garmin in the cup holder and just run. I set the speed at 3.5 miles per hour which is only a bit slower then my normal turtle speed, turned on Roger Clyne and the Peace Makers, and just started running. I figured I would go until I had to stop. Well when my lungs started burning I took my garmin out of the cup holder. I had gone 2.73 miles. I was amazed, astounded, and so very proud of myself. Now since I like nice round numbers I pushed myself for the additional .02 to have a total running distance of 2.75 miles with out walking a single step of it. I think my legs could have made it to 3 miles, but my lungs were on fire so I stopped there. I have never in my life ran that far.
I had my garmin set to auto lap at the mile mark so I do have splits.
