Good hike in the woods

Went camping last week and hiked all over Goose Creek State Park. Went swimming too, but that doesn’t really count because all I did was splash around with my dog.

Good mile

My original plan today was to run just two miles - I was running on my dinner break from work - today so I decided to pick up the pace. The first miles went by at 8 minutes. I decided, however, to go ahead and run the full three miles since work wasn’t all demanding today. The fast pace on the first mile came back to bite me in the third, and the pace slowed. Still finished in less than 33 minutes, though.

Speed picking up

Damn, if I’d gotten in two seconds sooner, I’d officially have a 15 mph speed. Oh well, next time.

Barrier bashed

It’s been a long time since I’ve had the feeling I had on tonight’s run. It was that feeling you get when you’ve got nothing in the tank, and you know you’re maxing out your effort. I used to get the feeling after football practice and toward the end of boxing workouts.

I just had to beat 30 minutes on tonight’s run. And with the finish line in sight, I kicked with all I had. I’m sure I made a face similar to something Sly Stallone makes in the last five minutes of any Rocky movie.

Just a little info about the course I run. The first and third miles are rather flat (I do live in eastern North Carolina, after all). The second mile, however, is right around the river area and has sizable hills. The second mile is always the slowest.

Tonight, I think my miles were: A touch over nine minutes for the first, 11 for the second and just under 10 for the third. I do know that I reached the exact half-way point at 15:05. That means I really picked it up for the finish, which felt great (but only when I had actually finished!).

When I reached the finish line, I had nothing in the tank, and my dog was waiting in the back yard not barking or jumping like usual, but he just stood there with his ears up, most likely wondering why I was hunched over.

Now, if I can just keep these 5Ks under 30 minutes for a while, that would be really swell … yeah, I said “swell.”
