back on the trail

Summer seems to have officially started this weekend here in Northeast Ohio. So I headed outdoors for a run on the towpath in Brecksville. I headed north and did mile one in a quick 7:14. From there I slowed and was just over 24 minutes at the three mile mark. I turned around then and headed back. I finished in 49:16, for a 8:12/mi pace. I wasn't out to set any records, just get a few miles under my belt.

I'm still trying to decide my summer racing schedule. I think my next race is going to be a 5K in 3 weeks. I've never really trained for one, and will likely just end up starting training for some other event (like a half marathon) and just happen to run the 5K as part of my training. I'm really more of a long distance runner than short. I'm not very competitive at short distances at this point, and don't really care to try to be.

Weekly Total: 10 miles
Yearly Total: 343.9 miles
