Flying Pig Training Re-Cap: Week 11

I made Week 11 my bitch.

Monday, 3/7 - off (too sore and too cranky from 17 miles to Zumba the night away)
Tuesday, 3/8 - 5 miles in 52 minutes (10:34 average)
Wednesday, 3/9 - 8 miles in 1 hour, 27 minutes (10:49 average)
Thursday, 3/10 - 5 miles in 52 minutes (10:22 average)
Friday, 3/11 - off
Saturday, 3/12 - 18 miles in 3 hours, 32 minutes (~11:45 average)
Sunday, 3/13 - off

Only in Ohio can you go from 30 degrees with a nasty sleet/snow/rain mix to a beautifully sunny 66 degrees two days later.  I do my mid-week runs after work, and usually don't take the time to remove my make-up from the day.  The unexpected nasty weather on Wednesday, combined with my failure to prepare with waterproof mascara, and I kind of looked like this:

Speaking of Snooki, I'm proud to say that I have never seen an episode of Jersey Shore and don't have plans to change that anytime soon.  There's too much drama in real life to waste time on reality TV.*  I just learned (like a week ago) what "t-shirt time" meant - when my cousin posted the phrase on Facebook, I "liked" it because I thought she meant she was getting into her PJs to head to bed.

Today's 18-miler was a hilly one, to say the least.  I ran near my house, so was able to stop home for a mid-run water re-fill - which was phenomenal.  The only bad part is that my iPod re-set my work-out during my short break, so I have two runs logged: one for 10.8 miles and one for 7.2 miles.  Here are the splits from each run:

MILE	TIME	PACE
1	10:50	10'50"
2	22:25	11'35"
3	34:11	11'45"
4	45:33	11'22"
5	57:00	11'26"
6	1:08:35	11'35"
7	1:20:24	11'48"
8	1:32:21	11'56"
9	1:44:14	11'53"
10	1:56:24	12'10"

Stop, re-set, GO!:

MILE	TIME	PACE
1	11:52	11'52"
2	23:51	11'59"
3	36:04	12'13"
4	48:06	12'01"
5	1:01:04	12'58"
6	1:13:38	12'33"
7	1:25:16	11'38"

Once again, not too impressed with the times.  Eh.


*Exception to the "no reality TV" rule: the best dance show EVER.
