Week 1 Training complete

1 week down, 14 more to go.  I did 400M repeats this week and really struggled trying to find the right pace.  I felt like it was way too easy for me.  Next time they come up I'll make sure I map out a 400M loop precisely and get my pace exact.  The long run was 10 miles and it was quite enjoyable actually. New Zealand is so dang hilly that you can't avoid it but by now I'm used to that even on long runs.  My tempo run (3 miles) was easy because I got to count the 5K beach series I've been racing every Tuesday night.  Currently my overall ranking is 7th for my age group but there's about 5 more races to go! 
This map is where all the magic happens! We live here, I work here, and all my runs go down somewhere along the beach.
