Flying Pig Training Re-Cap: Week 10

As mentioned in the Week 9 re-cap, Week 10 was a less than stellar performance. 

Monday, 2/28 - Zumba
Tuesday, 3/1 - off
Wednesday, 3/2 - 4 miles in 41 minutes (10:19 average)
Thursday, 3/3 - off
Friday, 3/4 - off
Saturday, 3/5 - off
Sunday, 3/6 - 17 miles in 3 hour, 23 minutes (11:55 average)

Three days off in a row!  What was I thinking?!  Truthfully, life laziness got in the way.  But don't you worry, running gods, you got me back on that 17-miler: Worst. Run. Ever.

Now, I know the stats for the 17-miler don't sound all that terrible - under a 12 minute mile?  I'll take it!  But check out these splits - can you see when the trouble started?:

MILE	TIME	PACE
1	10:44	10'44"
2	21:34	10'49"
3	32:30	10'56"
4	43:23	10'53"
5	54:22	10'58"
6	1:05:36	11'13"
7	1:16:55	11'19"
8	1:27:56	11'00"
9	1:39:18	11'21"
10	1:50:37	11'19"
11	2:02:24	11'47"
12	2:16:28	14'03"
13	2:29:04	12'35"
14	2:42:05	13'01"
15	2:55:21	13'16"
16	3:09:09	13'47"
17	3:22:42	13'33"

How is it even possible to hit the wall at only 12 miles?  I had such an intense cramp that I almost called it quits.  But I shuffled through the remaining 5 miles ("shuffled" is accurate, by the way - I'm not sure you could call what I was doing "running" at that point - it was an embarrassment to runners everywhere).  Guess you have to have a bad run every now and then, huh?  As long as I don't have one on May 1st, I'm good to go.
