Time to catch up! So here’s an update from my Ragnar Relay post until the third week of February in regard to my running and overall training.  What did I find out? Am I getting faster, slower, or staying about the same?

January 27 through February 2, 2018
Weekly Miles: 16.9 miles

February 3 through February 9, 2018
Weekly Miles: 6.8 miles?!

February 10 through February 16, 2018
Weekly Miles: 15.3 miles

These three weeks are the start of what was a short lived obsession with getting faster! A co-worker of mine recently took interest in running, and decided to join me for a lunch run.  What was a casual run, turned into an all out assault. Our fastest mile time hovers around 7:39 per mile – aka throw up speed.  It was worth the investment, because in the long runs, my times have since gotten much better.

Long convinced I was a 9 minute mile man, I can happily report I’ve been hovering in the mid to low 8 minute range and have only seen my performance improving.
