3 mile morning jog…
I am so bad. I have not ran or excersized at all so far in the month of March. The last time I jogged (before today) was 2/25. 
I really need to get focused if I want to improve my time in the Malibu Nautica Triathlon this year. I am thinking about signing up for the Carpe Diem Santa Monica Classic 10k on 4/30 to keep me focused. Anyway, here’s the stats from today’s jog…
- Total Time: 0h 34min 50s
- Distance: 3 mi
- Heart rate avg: 89% / 173 bpm
- Heart rate max: 99% / 192 bpm
- Calories (burned): 520 Kcal
- Speed avg: 5.2 mi/h
- Speed max: 7.6 mi/h
- Pace avg: 11min 32s/mi
- Pace max: 7min 54s/mi
I actually started out pretty good. I was consistantly in the 8-9min/mi pace, but I just couldn’t keep it up. Not even 1 mile in, I had to start walking. That’s what I get for being so lazy through out winter I guess.
Another thing occurred to me as well. I NEED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT! I’ve gained 10 pounds since the triathlon in September. No wonder it’s hard to run. It’s like running with 10 pound weights tied around you! I am sure once I get lighter, my pace will pick up again, and maybe I’ll have less foot/knee pains. GO ME!

Hmmmmm, if you started off doing 11min miles for your first mile, you’d prolly be able to go w/out walking. Easier said than done. My first mile, for whatever reason is always my fastest mile split.
