Today I ran 5.9155 miles in 96 minutes! (View my route) That comes to 16 minutes per mile. It’s not as good as I have done in the past but I think that’s because I didn’t run much last week (due to stomach troubles) and I didn’t bring any hydration or food with me (like my trainer told me to start doing). The doctor tells me the stomach troubles are almost certainly an ulcer. She’s prescribed an 8-week course of double-OTC-dose Prilosec and an endoscopy. This week I’ll pick up something to carry hydration in and food for the road. Next weekend’s 8 miles should go better. I feel that I’ll be in good shape if I can get under 14 minutes per mile.
Still continuing the 6-minutes-jogging, 2-minutes-walking intervals. Am wondering if I should step that up to 8min/2min. But am feeling GREAT about completing 6 miles today. Whee!
