Ran another 4 on Sunday, this time quite a bit faster. It was about 81 degrees when I went out, which wore me out a bit, but didn’t seem to mess with my speed or breathing.

After seeing my marathon splits, I’m convinced I need to go out and figure out my PRs for various events. I’m certain that the first half of the marathon was my fastest half to date. & at the 3.2 mile mark on this run I think I probably got close to a 5K record. Funny how avoiding races for a few months causes you to lose touch with your times. Here are some PRs from my NYRR races last year. I’ll work on breaking them over the next few months. I also wan to see what I can do on an all-out mile, but I’ll save that for a cool day.

5K: I’m shocked– haven’t run an official one in at least a year.
4mi: 29:20 (Run for Central Park, July 2007)
5mi: 38:41 (WABC Fight/Prostate Cancer, July 2007)
10K: 47:34 (Healthy Kidney 10K, May 2007)
Half: 1:46:40 (Brooklyn Half, April 2007)
Marathon: 3:44:15 (2008 Buffalo Marathon)

I’m pretty sure I beat all of those records in my first 13.1 miles, but I didn’t pay too close attention. Hopefully I can beat most of them before I start my official NYC Marathon training in a few weeks.
