Le Challenge

The Stats: 8/1 - 8/8
8/3: 3.12 mi; 24'57"; 8'00" avg. pace
8/5: 3.12 mi; 24'08"; 7'42" avg. pace
8/7: 2.22 mi; 16'39"; 7'29" avg. pace
8/8: 2.61 mi; 21'03"; 8'04" avg. pace

Hoping to breakout of a summer lull, I challenged Ashley to see who could run 30 miles in the least amount of days in August. As of today, August 9th, I trail by 4.1 miles (Ashley: 15.2 vs. Matt: 11.1). She is at the halfway mark, so I better get motivated. This training is also part of gearing up for another 10k race. Not too many races of that distance are available in our area. Huntington is holding one the week before the Capital City Challenge. That would be my last chance at a 10k prior to the Atlantic City race in mid-October. I have no ambitions for the Distance Run this year; for once, I can be one of the dudes cheering from the side of the road with a cold drink in hand. Maybe one day I will feel crazy enough to try the CDR again, but not in 2013.
