I am On It

sorry my Dear Reader, I wasn't feel like blogging recently.
Terrific volume of dirt, friable / crumbly melting snow in last two-three days cut down my running volume of work. I finished my week
Mar, Sun 11 - Sat 17 with average 35 !!! miles.
Here's what Thomas said recently:
"45 miles. One year ago that would have been an average week. Now I don’t know how I will survive on so little running."
Me either. In his best weeks Thomas is 20 miles ahead of me, in worst weeks - still 10 miles ahead. .. so little running...
The only good thing I did was a Half marathon I ran on Wed eve and clocked with Personal Best 1:44:28

Mile 01: 07:58
Mile 02: 07:38
Mile 03: 07:38
Mile 04: 07:36
Mile 05: 07:39
Mile 06: 07:44
Mile 07: 08:06
Mile 08: 08:03
Mile 09: 08:14
Mile 10: 08:19
Mile 11: 08:27
Mile 12: 08:12
Mile 13: 07:58
Lap 14 (0,11m): 00:49 (pace 07:38)
Total for Half Marathon:
Mar 14, Wed, PM: 13.11 miles, 1:44:28, 07:58 pace, avg.HR 146, max.HR 158

I was really surprised seeing average pace 07:58 at Garmin Software Training Center.
I didn't mean to make sub 8:00 run.
Not bad, not bad.

P.S. Personal thanks to Great Guys:
