Another 5.9 miler - Try to go faster

Last week, I did this great run up through the San Vicente neighborhoods in Brentwood - though I hit a weird "wall" about 2 miles in, I wanted to try this run again to 1) break through that "wall", 2) make up for yesterday's piss-poor "rest day" and 3) see if I can improve on last week's time.

It was, as usual, hot again. But the run went pretty well. I think it helped to see a bike race on San Vicente, that kind of distracted me and motivated me all at the same time. So, the final time was 55:13 (down from 59.48 from last sunday!)...that puts me at 9:20's....I think it's pretty good and I'm definitely headed in the right direction. The ultimate goal will be to get it down to around 51 or 52 minutes - I think that'll put me at 8:30's....but I think that's still a few months away - maybe by Thanksgiving???

If you want to see the run, go here. (Or scroll down to the Aug 10 post)
