Tried running at what I hoped my race pace would be for the R/S. There is some good news, and there is some bad news.
Good news: I shaved a minute a mile off the pace I've been running at. I guess that's a lot more than just "shaving" time.... that's more of a full hair-removal. Perhaps a brazilian.
Bad News: I'm still effing slow. My nike+ widget needs to be calibrated. It was off by 4 tenths of a mile. So, while it said I'd gone 3.01 miles in 26 minutes, Google claims I only went 2.59 miles.
I just can't get too discouraged about it though. I mean, crap. I'm running. It feels good. And, I'm making some pretty big gains in my training.
So, yes, I'm slow. But wow, I've improved without a lot of training. By the end of the summer I should be quite the running machine.
I'll hit the bike again today -- an easy ride just to get my ass (literally, my ass) in shape.
I've joined Brea's goal of getting 100 miles in for April. I'm close to my goal of 34 miles for March.

hmm about this nike + calibration stuff...what is the process? and is it something I can have you do before you come here or does it have to be calibrated to me? there is not any tracks where I could actually know my correct distance...but i want one so bad!
calibration is done by yourself, the distances that Tres and I are using are mapped using google maps distance measure tool, just like on map my run.
Tres, wow, a whole minute off!!! that's super keep it up!!
Don't make me join this 100 miler challenge of yours!?!?!?
