the weather was delightful this morning...a nice little breeze. 69-72o with 85-78% humidity. The sweat wasn't dripping nearly as bad as Thursday's 9 miler.
Wyatt and I took a new side road off of the p-town loop and went out in the country for a while, then intersected back with the end of the p-town loop to finish the run.
We ran by a couple of horse farms, and a little old worn down trailer house that had a cow family in the front yard. A bull, a mom cow, and a little calf. We see the strangest things out in the country. Had a few dogs chase out after us in the road. None of them were doing anything other than just being guard dogs, I just hate to see dogs left loose that can run in the road and get hit by a car.
Got a good opossum road kill sighting too. Our run was slow...some miles were a little too slow and I think we need to try and pick up the speed a little. We got back and I decided I wanted to run a little more, so I did a 2 miles loop around the hood and worked on running faster. I got 9:30ish on the first mile and 830ish on the second. My last .18 was 7:30ish, but that's not really long enough to count for much.
Overall avg pace was 10:20. Hope to see that increase in the coming weeks.
I'm so glad the weather was nice today. It makes me hopeful that better days are ahead. |
