A week of softball and gardening leads to running remorse...

After 2 days of softball games and getting our flowerbeds redone (by us!) I was kind of pooped to get out and run or even swim at work! I did, however get to running on the 15th, between 2 more softball days! I did, however get very tired during my after work run...at 4:00...with the sun blazing!! I got in 2.01 good miles and then it hit me...I HAD to walk. 

Well, I didn't have to, but it was a good idea to go ahead and walk. So, I completed my first 2.01 mile workout and then walked 0.55 of a mile and then ran 0.46 to complete 1.01 mile. You can view my routes here and here. I ran the 2.01 miles in 19:16 with a pace of 9:35 and walked 0.55 in 8:57 and then ran the last 0.46 in 4:26 finishing in 13:22. Not too bad considering I walked a half of a mile in the middle. My total run was 3.02 with a time of  32:38, which is an average pace of 10:48. Even for me averaging between 1 minute and 1:30 faster than that, this is still not a terrible time! I am just glad I got out and ran something...anything!

It feels good when I run and writing about it makes me want to get up and go...right now!! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
