Another month down, another 44.42 miles closer to my goal 500 miles in 2008.
While my March average pace (8:46 minutes/mile) stayed unchanged for April, my mileage actually went down this month.
Some highlights from the April workouts...
First road race - the Wrigley Start Early 10K.
6.2 miles in 54 minutes. I was sore before and after the race, but it still felt good to cross the finish line.
Second road race - the American Brain Tumor 5K Path to Progress
3.1 miles in 26:32, which amounted to an 8:34 min/mile pace, a new personal record :)
To make up for the lack of mileage, I started incorporating pushups and crunches into my routine. Starting with only 20 pushups (2x10) per day, I'm now up to 48 / day (3x15, 1x as many as possible)....and i'm still working my way up. My goal with pushups is to crank out 5 sets of 50 pushups without breaking a sweet. Call me crazy, but I want to do this by the end of summer.
