This morning called for a four mile run around the neighborhood. Once again though I felt a little sick to my stomach but I went away. Maybe I am just getting nervous about the run or something. But nonetheless, I finished and I actually am quite happy with the outcome.
Here it is on the Nike+
And on Runkeeper showing 4.1 miles ran while the Nike+ is actually at 4 miles exactly because I walked for roughly a quarter a mile to warm up.
According to Runkeeper my splits were:
1st Mile- 11:25
2nd Mile- 11:21
3rd Mile- 12:06
4th Mile- 10:15
Thus my 4.1 mile run I finished in a time of 46:10 for a 11:16 pace.
I am very happy with myself that I negatively split my last mile in just my second week of this training. Additionally, just since last Saturday when I did the first four mile training session I improved my overall pace by 46 seconds per mile. Quite a difference in just 6 days time!
So a nice pat on my own back and we will be returning to the four mile run on Saturday with hopefully another improvement. Maybe I can crack 45 minutes.
Yesterday I was spot on with my calories. I had nothing left at the end of the night but I had a major craving for ice cream or brownies. Typically, with nothing like that in the house I would hardly hesitate to go to the local store and purchase something to quell that craving. But I resisted and drank a diet Dr. Pepper instead. Oh, how I miss ice cream right now.
