Minnie 15k runners!!

[TnTsParty]

I don't know if I should be posting here or on the walkers thread because I do a little of both. I really want to be a runner but I give out and have to walk a bit and then I can run again and then I have to walk. I am definately going to try to keep a 12 minute pace even though lately in training it has fallen below that. At least I know I keep it under the 15 minute pace even if it ends up being right under.

I tend to like overestimate my finishing time because if I underestimate then I am afraid I will get upset and loose my motivation. It worked with the TOT 13k and I was under my estimate. So for now I am shooting for a 2 hour total time and anything better than that will be ok with me. I will definately be happy with a 12 minute pace (especially since in a 5k I have an 11 min pace) How I would love to be under 10 mins but that is a long long time away.

Howard - I think you need to take it really easy and run with me! Then again, if it's really hot and humid, I may be closer to teh 12 mpm group.

Hi all !!
I'll be trying to equal my latest run/walks..
Just under a 12 average, peaking at just under 8, walking at high 12's
Been following my garmin's time prompts for the last workout.. 2 min run, 3 min walk. Was happy with the results and very happy not looking at watch constantly. Will probably use it for events too, to try to keep on track.
But dunno.. Did the NKF5K in Early march and kicked it out for a PR of 30:35...
Just hoping I can sustain SOMETHING for the 9 miles..

Any company appreciated.. Figure there will be small clouds of WISH shirts around..

Well... I was right. My goal pace changed after my 8 miles on Saturday!! I kept about an 8:47 pace, but come Sunday and today my legs were so sore. I am also getting a bit of a nagging pain in my left shin which means LOTS of ice, and ibuprofin. It also means I need to not push too hard on Sunday, or I might really do some damage!! I am getting so excited. Less than a week away!!

ok so i tend to run around 9 min per mile- maybe a tad faster at the beginning but will give myself a bit of breathing space due to the HUMIDITY! There seem to be a few of us around this pace and i'd love to run with someone but have to warn you that i will need my music to keep me going so may not be best company!

See you sat/sun
