Reductions
Jun. 16th, 2018 05:51 pmInteresting trifecta of data points today. These aren't lifetime personal records by any means, but they're all low points since I started gathering data with my Garmin two years ago.
I'm still not back to an uninterrupted 5k run capability, but today's run was encouraging. Ran a mile, walked a quarter, ran a mile, walked a quarter, and then finished with a 0.65-mile run. Per the ForeRunner, the second mile was a new PR for my time with it - 8:35.8. Also a new best 5k at 31:31 (average pace 10:09/mile). I know my previous PR with the Suunto was a 9:05 mile average and I think breaking that is within reach by the end of the summer if I don't fuck up.
Better yet, the scales this morning advised me I'm down to 181.2, which is the lowest I've been since last year's minor surgery.
