4 Mile New Year's Eve Beach Run
Sara and I went down to our family house in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida for a few days leading up to New Years, which provided me with a great opportunity to run outside in nicer weather for my last run of 2007. While beach running is more difficult than asphalt, I couldn't give up the opportunity to running down by the ocean. The morning temps were in the high 50's when I left the house and started the trek to the beach. I went my normal route on the beach and turned around at 2 miles and headed back.
I ended up finishing the 4.2 mile run in 33:41 for an average pace of 8:01/mile. I am actually pretty happy the pace was that fast considering the quicksand that I was running in during some parts of the run.

5K Treadmill Run in 22:33
5k Treadmill Run in 22:33
Went downstairs to run only about 15 minutes after eating dinner tonight. I probably should have waited a little longer, but I wanted to run before it got too late. I went down with the intention of running 2.5, but decided that I might as well up it to 3.1 (5K). With that in mind, I started the treadmill fast at 8.5, then gradually sped it up, finishing the last half mile of the run on 10.0 (6:00/mile pace). The run shattered my previous Nike Plus 5K record of 22:40. I ended up finishing the 5k run in 22:33 for an average pace of 7:14/mile. According to nikeplus.com, I burned 428 calories.

5 Mile Treadmill Run
5.05 Mile Treadmill Run in 40:35
Was a bit tight on time tonight, but still decided to get in a run on the long side. The Celtics game was on so rather than listen to music I put on the game, which helped the run go pretty quickly. I started the treadmill out around 7.2 and slowly inched it up to 8.5 for the last half mile or so. Over the first couple of miles I was a bit stiff, but after stretching out around mile one and getting into a comfortable stride I was able to bang out the full 5 mile run without too much of a problem. The propel water helped too. I ended up finishing the 5.05 mile treadmill run in 40:35 for an average pace of 8:01/mile. According to Nike Plus I burned 695 calories.
