Engineering the Run: 5k Goal Time
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010/10/5k-goal-time.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. But this does make it difficult to set race goals. Current official 5k PR: : 29:26 (9:28 pace) from 2007. Best time that I am aware of: : at the National Half last March I ran the first 10k in 57:05 (9:12 pace). Training so far: : I calculated that I ran 5k in my speed workout at 9:23 minutes per mile, and I ran 2 miles in under 16:00 this week. Based on these factors, I think it is an attainable goal (and would be awesome) to run the 5k in under 28 minutes (9:00 pace).

Engineering the Run: May 2010
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. After feeling disheartened about not being able to run as fast a Daris from the Biggest Loser, I quickly got over it. I'm never going to get better if I just feel down on myself and don't run! So on Wednesday I ran a little over 5 miles around the Tidal Basin. Yesterday I did my Total Body workout class at noon and then ran 4 miles with my sister, friend, and fiance as a part of the Pacers Fun Run in the evening. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. That's 9:15 mins/per. Maybe I should try ...

Engineering the Run: A Girl's Best Friend
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010/09/girls-best-friend.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. A Girl's Best Friend. The Powerback Underwire Sports Bra by Champion! The construction of this bra is such that bouncing is contained in all directions. Price: $40 each (which is a lot better than many comparable bras), but there are often Buy 1 Get 1 Half-Off sales. Lift and Separation: I look and feel good when I wear this bra. No one wants a. Nderwire: I’ve never felt any discomfort from the. And they aren’t coming out at all. Difficult to Don: The. PS I am sorry about th...

Engineering the Run: August 2010
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. I just busted the hook and eye closure at the waist of my skirt! I really need to get back into running to lose these wedded-bliss pounds. I did get in 6.5 miles on Saturday, but I haven't been finding the motivation to run with enough frequency. Hopefully the busted skirt will be that motivation. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. What Not to Wear. They do not breathe and they make me overheat even on low-mileage runs. The straps constantly fall down. Whoever designed this bra must n...

Engineering the Run: Bishop Ireton Cardinal 5k Race Report
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010/10/bishop-ireton-cardinal-5k-race-report.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. Bishop Ireton Cardinal 5k Race Report. 27:10 (crushed my goal time). 3rd place in my age division (20-29 female). My prize was a pair of way-too-big-even-for-my-husband socks. haha. I pretty much followed my plan. Started out fast, dialed it back half-way, and I finished strong. I wish I wouldn't have slowed down so much around 2.25 miles. Overall I'm very happy, and I'll work on my stamina for next time. I'm not complaining, because something is better than nothing. I used to r...

Engineering the Run: April 2010
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. I've been incredibly busy this week with wedding planning, but I'm happy to report that the new running schedule is going great! This weekend I've decided I will do a 9 or 10 mile long run. Maybe 11. But not 13. And I'm really looking forward to playing tennis with my sister! Thursday, April 1, 2010. I stopped yesterday during my 9 mile run/walk to take a few pictures on my iPhone. The cherry blossoms were in their blooming peak. These pictures don't do it justice! I can still ru...

Engineering the Run: BREAKING NEWS:::: I am fast!
http://engineeringtherun.blogspot.com/2010/10/breaking-news-i-am-fast.html
Thursday, October 14, 2010. BREAKING NEWS: : I am fast! Seriously people, I just ran the fastest 2 miles of my life! Mile 1 was the fastest single mile I had ever run, until I ran mile 2 even faster. It must have been the deep dish pizza I ate last night! The whole truth is that I was on a treadmill, and I know it's not the same as running outside, but I am still stoked about this. I was going to run fast today. Mile 1: 7:54 minutes. Mile 2: 7:42 minutes. October 14, 2010 at 11:01 AM. Gotta Be Above It.
