Training Pays!

If you remember my pace from the Run Hit Wonder (7:44/mile) and the Hood to Coast (7:14/mile), I can now conclusively prove that training works. I did the Pints to Pasta 10K in 41:59. That's 6:46/mile! My legs were burning and I felt like my lungs were going to explode, but that's a personal best 10K for me! I think the winner pumped out 5:10 miles or something ridiculous, but I'm happy. Glad to have my legs back!

The data above was gathered from my new training parting, the Garmin Forerunner 301. Click on the picture to get all of the data from my run (OK, I know you guys don't care, but I think it's cool!). It does pretty well at grabbing all of the data for the run and it gives a geek like myself incentive to get out there to add more data to the system.
