The past week....and 83.2 mile first week of August......most weeks have been over 80 miles this year.....Michael turned 13 on the 1oth....ran with Nick yesterday in the AM again....I think we did 1:25:52 for 11 miles....about 18 seconds slower than last weekend....during the week....three of my nooner 5K second runs were in 19:51.....20:05 and 20:15.....both the 20 and change had two sub6s in them.....15 sub6s on the year...that is the most since I did 17.
Here is a list of the Sub6s I have tracked since 1980:
'82-23
'83-32
'84-8
'88-5
'89-1
'91-17
'92-80
'93-90
'94-157
'95-122
'96-19
'97-23
'98-32
'99-17
'00-2
'06-8
'07-15 as of this date.
Very productive from '92 through '95.....and a fall off starting in '96....is that because I turned 35 in July of '95 or I went to running most my miles in the AM before work in '96?....probably a combo of both.
What excuse do I have for running no logged Sub6 miles from '01 through '05?.......none......just lazy.
As of today......August 12th, 2007.....I have 651 logged Sub6 minute miles since 01/01/1980......and of course 3 Sub5 minute miles....the last one of those was in '96....so that total is probably written in stone.
