Ryan's Familiar Favorite 6.0 course came up again and my goal was to do 3.0 miles, and then around mile 2 I decided to push myself and go at least 4. When all was said and done I did 4.5 miles.
It was a struggle the first 2.5 miles but then I warmed up and was good to go, minus miles 2-3 where I wanted to throw up my Turkey Rachel sandwich I ate for dinner. Key to this workout was stopping for about a minute after every mile and chugging 12 oz of water.
Started off slow and gained pace after every 0.5 or 1.0 miles; worked my way up the ladder from 5.0 to 5.2 to 5.4 to 5.6 to 5.8 and even 6.0mph! Until I was doing it I didn't think I could manage a 6.0mph pace but somehow I found myself doing about 1.0 miles at that speed. I did a 0.5 mile cool down, getting myself to a 4.5 mile total for a new personal best!
The whole time I wore my 2lb wrist weights so the work out had an added 'bonus' and 'complexity'. And after catching my breath after my run I did 100 crunches.
