Personal Running Log - May 2008
Here we are a third of the way through June and I haven’t yet posted my running log for May. I apologize because I know how much you all love to pore over the numbers, analyzing the data, searching for a chink in the Vanilla armor, but alas there is none to be found. Each month the times in the Pace column inch lower and lower (with one glaring exception below, but I was taking it easy on that run). Each month there are more numbers in the 8s and less in the 9s. Each month my ego swells a little bit more, which makes the increase in speed all the more impressive now that I have this huge head to carry along on my runs. Occasionally though I like to hearken back to those times when I first started running, those times when I couldn’t run my way out of a wet paper bag, those times before I realized that I’m fast and this is easy. Perhaps, in the near future I’ll regale you with such tales of slowness that it will make your head rotate. Perhaps an introspective look back over my running history is in order, in the mean time head on over to CRN and enjoy my post over there today... after you meditate on the following table of course.

You are definitely getting faster.
ReplyDeleteDo you cross train too Vanilla? Dude, I wish I only had to run 11 times a month :-)
ReplyDeleteChia, I'm supposed to and I try to cross train at least twice a week but it doesn't always work out that way. I also missed a run or two last month, I'm supposed to be running 3 times a week which usually equates to 12 or 13 runs a month.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say big head, are you speaking metaphorically or is your dome actually getting bigger? That happened to Barry Bonds, you know. Big head=better times? Hmmmmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteCheater.
I'll just pucnh this data into my Nerdolator and report back the findings.
ReplyDeleteI'll get right on that.
