10K in 1:07:22

I did another 10K this week, but it was a minute slower than a few weeks ago.  Today my miles were 10:50, 10:58, 11:07, 10:54, 10:41, and 10:57.  My 5K was 33:50 and I hit 10K at 1:07:22, so I was fairly even paced for each 5K.  I did a walk-run-walk pattern at 3 minutes running and 1 minute walking throughout. 

On Thursday, I put in 3 miles, but I walked most of it.  I was nervous about running 3 days in a row, especially given the fast 5K I put in on Wednesday.  I think it was a smart decision.  I wish I had gotten out to run a little on Saturday, but we spent the day at OSU.  We went to the OSU Marching Band's Skull Session before the game and then hung out with friends.  It was a beautiful day.  I probably walked 3 miles or more at OSU, so I suppose that should count for some exercise.

If I was more consistent with my training, I'd increase distance or speed, I'm sure.  However, my life schedule is anything but consistent, so I'm doing what I can, when I can.  Besides, I'm not a very effective "maintenance" type person, so my personality doesn't lend itself to the daily run routine, either.

We're headed out in a few minutes to put in 90 minutes of volleyball.  My legs certainly are getting a great workout today.  I'll probably be a step slower on the court tonight because I was pretty tired after my run.  Also, my knee was acting up a bit toward the end.  Hopefully all the parts will cooperate tonight and I'll have a good game.

Ken is tired too because he spent the day cleaning and doing home repair/upgrades on our basement.  He sanded some length off two very heavy solid core doors and painted the stairs.  Aside from taking the kids to swimming, buying Jason a Beyblade stadium, and running, all I got done was cleaning the oven and I did most of that last night.  Oh well.
