The proverbial "they" say that a person can beat themselves for about six years straight and then they peak. I am nearing the end of my fifth year of running, and not getting any younger. So I won't be setting many more all-time personal records. Thus I must savor every one. So with that in mind, here's my tally for the year-to-date:
June 30, 2008
Mileage goal for year: 600. Miles run as of June 30 - 422.
Number of races: 21
PRs set since first quarter's end (April through June):
1 mile: 7:57
10 Mile (hilly, Mountain Valley Run, Keezletown, VA): 1:32:00 (9:12 pace)
(this beats the Staunton 10 Miler record of 1:47 set last fall)
20K (flat, Dam to Dam in Des Moines IA): 1:58:31 (9:31 pace)
Half-marathon (hilly, Charlottesville VA): 2:01:45 (9:24 pace)
(Until this year I hadn't run farther than 10 miles, so the 20K and Half are a distance and pace record)
