Can you believe Andrea shot Darryl?! What the heck was that?!?! Seriously, the expletives that were uttered as we saw the writing on the wall and the shot was fired. Man oh man.
In other news, I finished week 8. Thank you Podrunner!
This week consisted of three sessions that all have 5 minute warm-ups, 28 minute jogruns and 5 minute cool downs.
Week 8 was happening when I wrote my posts for week 6 and 7. The day I wrote those posts I had done day 2 of week 8 on the treadmill. If you've been reading about my progress, then you know I dread a long jogrun on the treadmill. There's something about my wiring that makes the whole thing somewhat panic inducing and the time remaining feel infinite. But, I got through it, because I've come so far that I wasn't going to let a measly 28-minute treadmill jogrun stand between me and the end of the first leg of this journey.
And now it's time for the breakdown (Am I the only one who thinks of En Vogue's Never Gonna Get It when they say that. Here's a reminder: Link to the video.) :
Day 1: Outdoor run, 2.66 miles in 40 minutes and 45 seconds. A pace of 15:20 per mile (or approximately 3.92 mph).
Day 2: Treadmill run, 2.7 miles in 39 minutes and 30 seconds at approximately 4.2 mph ( 14.28 per mile). It's the one advantage of the machine, you can manage your speed.
Day 3: Outdoor run, 2.66 miles in 43 minutes. A pace of 16:10 per mile (or 3.72 mph). I blame the cold early morning for this one. But you know what? I still did it.
That evening I pinned the below to one of my Pinterest boards, because I saw it the night that I finished week 8 and damn if it isn't true:

It's the simple truths that'll smack you across the face.
