4:50 am 78o , 80-84% humidity. It's sad when it feels like a sauna at 4:50 in the morning. Lately, I've felt like the simplest breeze is a tender mercy of the Lord sent just for me.
progressive run. I was supposed to do 2 speed miles, but I did a lot of rationalizing and figured since I was planning a longer run tomorrow, and did a good pace yesterday, that I should take it easy today. So I started out at a recovery run pace, but I found that the longer I ran, the better I felt. So it just progressed. The last mile I tried running at my speed mile pace and was pleased that I actually managed to go faster than my goal. The last .22 miles was just to get back to the house and for fun.
It was cool though, because I haven't seen a 6 in my pace (unless it was on my bike) all summer.
avg pace 9:35. splits: 11:23, 10:15, 9:54, 9:43, 9:26, 9:04, 7:52, 6:56 (yeah baby, yeah!!!)
Ran in the hood today- evidently over the summer, the stray cat population has increased- there were cats everywhere. I like it when the headlamp reflects in the cat's eyes at night.
off to do my crunches & then to work...no hour delay today :-(
