Had to drop my car off at the shop today to get it fixed, so instead of running over lunch, I made plans to run from work to the shop to pick up the car. When I went to get going, it was already 97 degrees out, so I took a bottle of water with me to stay hydrated and avoid getting overheated. Had the garmin, but I forgot to start it again at a stoplight, so I don't know what my average pace was. I am going to guess about 7:35/mile. I had grossly overestimated the total distance from work to the car shop - I thought it was about 7 miles, but it ended up actually being just under 4. Picked up the car - had to get 2 radiator hoses replaced, the coolant flushed, and also had to get the axle and CV joint replaced - all just after my warranty expired (of course). Will plan on hopefully doing some more miles this evening, although my stomach is acting up - I hope I don't have what Adam had last Thursday. |
