I ran 5 miles and all I burned was 766 calories

runningshoesThe infallible training schedule told me to run 5 miles this evening. My wife joined me for a half mile warm-up and then I was on my way for another 5.

I did the 5 miles in 52:14 which averages out to a 10:23 mile. It sounds a bit slow, but I ran the whole thing. Hopeful its time in the bank for running the 2 mile more effectively.

I set up a quarter-mile auto lap on my Forerunner. Here are the stats:

lap 1, 2:29
lap 2, 2:06
lap 3, 2:14
lap 4, 2:15
lap 5, 2:14
lap 6, 3:01
lap 7, 2:18
lap 8, 2:33
lap 9, 2:57
lap 10, 2:40
lap 11, 2:26
lap 12, 2:43
lap 13, 2:45
lap 14, 2:31
lap 15, 2:28
lap 16, 2:56
lap 17, 2:44
lap 18, 2:42
lap 19, 2:55
lap 20, 2:44

As far as the 2-mile goes. I need to run each quarter-mile lap in no more than 2:03 in order to pass.

Intervals happens again this Friday. Maybe I could do quarter-mile intervals and try to get the 2min lap then.

Tomorrow's word of the day is push-ups!
