What a beautiful day! I could not wait to get my new shoes on and run those neighborhood hills! By the time we got home and I got my stuff on and got ready to go it was already dark. I decided to go for a short run anyway and out I went. I ran all of the front roads of my neighborhood and honestly thought I would get 3 miles out of the run...unfortunately it was only 2.5 miles. At least I got up and ran even if I was short a half a mile. I could have ran another half, but it was already pretty late and I needed to go ahead and stop. Besides, there is always tomorrow! :)
I ran 2.5 miles in 27:37 with a pace of 11:03 min/mi and my average speed was 5.43 miles/hr. I know this is slower than my run on Wednesday, but this route is tougher than that one on campus, plus if I maintained my speed then I would have ran 3 miles faster than the last time I ran it...so overall I was pretty happy! You can click on my route to view my run. I hope I have motivated you to challenge yourself to take on that intimidating hill or long road. Remember, you are only as slow, weak, and tired as you "think" you are. Your brain will always give up before your mind will! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
