8 and 9

It's a two-fer! I was out of town on the weekend so I haven't had a chance to update until now. Otherwise all is well, but I have a feeling that summer is going to be over before I know if. Need to enjoy this weather while it lasts.. and get ready for the 10 km race in less than a month!

August 24, 2010

Distance: 6.18KM

Time: 29.13

Pace: 4:43

Footwear: Vibram Five Fingers - Sprint

Notes: A slightly shorter run than the last one, but this time at home. I was focused on keeping my time below 5:00 min/km and I managed to accomplish that with room to spare. One of my earlier runs in totally bare feet was along the same path (except a bit shorter) and it took me about 40 minutes... so my improving physical condition plus these new shoes is already making me much faster. Excellent.

Distance: 6.7KM

Time: 32:10

Pace: 4:48

Footwear: Vibram Five Fingers - Sprint

Notes: Went for a run with my wife and brother in law. It was grueling for the first half as my wife was pushing her brother and I as hard we could go, but we managed to keep up. I think our pace was around 4:30 for that bit. Then she ran along and us two boys ran back home, with a definite decrease in pace. Even so it was my best pace to date.
