yesterday's run was my best time to that point.  This run beat it by 40 seconds.  Hope this level of improvement keeps going.  Tried to spot a shooting star, but didn't see one.  This caused me to walk slower which counterintuitively helps improve the time as my HR recovers quicker allowing me to run a bigger percent of the distance. This resulted in 7.5 walks compared to 6 yesterday.  Lots of people don't like Galloway, but he's got some things figured out for those without a solid base.  Sometimes walking more gives you a better time.

Before my run I took a big bite of cake and took a drink of water to help wash it down.  Then I sneezed.  Usually you can tell you are about to sneeze, not this time.  So I shot a chocolate cake water mixture out my nose.  One of the most disgusting things I have ever done.
