run, run, run

Coeur d'Alene, ID 6:20am

Pace: 8:46

I got it at about midnight last night, but still got out and ran. I ran along the lake road. It was a good run, but kind of slick.

Coeur d'Alene, ID 6:30am

Pace: 8:55

I think my pace was a bit faster than 8:55. On my Nike+ graph it shows a dip at mile 8 down to 17 minutes per mile. I know I didn't slow down there, so it must have lost its signal at that point.

I ran along a lake that I think is called Fernman lake. It should be called Coldman lake because I was cold, man. The lake was frozen over. I threw a baseball sized rock to see if the ice was solid and it just bounced. Then later I saw some people ice fishing. Lots of deer out and about this morning too.

This was my first time doing back-to-back 10-milers in a while. It feels good to know I'm still up for it.

I went off to the west of the hotel tonight. It was really nice, a path runs along the lake for several miles. I didn't want to go too far because I'm planning on going out again tomorrow. Five and a half miles was just about right. Felt real good.

I went back out Fernan (I found out that it's Fernan, not Fernman) Lake Road. It was a foggy day, but still a nice run aside the frozen lake. Along the way I thought I saw a dog in the road, but it had really big ears, so maybe it was a fox, or a dingo looking for a baby to steal.

 I think my iPod was wiggin' out a bit today. I'm pretty sure I ran faster than 8:59, but having run last night, maybe I didn't.

Wasn't very motivated this morning. Just went out to get my miles up to 40 for the week, so I can take the weekend off guilt-free. I went along the lake on the greenbelt or whatever they call it.

I've seen a lot of deer during my runs here, but this morning there were two deer running along the path. They would run  a ways and then stop, look back at me for a bit and then take off again. I think they were taunting me. Wondering to each other how anything could run so slowly. Stupid deer.
