Total Distance
4.00

4 miles at 5am.  I think I've been pushing it a little too hard on the first mile before I'm warmed up.  I took at real slow this time (10:11) and it helped because mile 4 was my first mile under 8 in a long time (7:53).  Average pace was 8:50.

I forgot to mention the temperature.  57 degrees, absolutely gorgeous.  It was dark the whole time though and that sucks.  The only light we'll be seeing at 5am is the moon (unless you live in Arizona).

Glad you are figuring out the vibe to the run!! Nice work, especially at 5AM -blech.

How is Rachael doing?

She is busy with Luke, the new little one, teaching, and everything else. My brother has Shingles and can't be near the baby for like a month so Rachael is doing it by herself. So her running is pretty much limited to her treadmill. I don't know if she has any races planned.

LOVING the early morning weather, can not wait for the afternoon weather to follow!

Nice job on the run! My first mile is always SO SLOW, but it takes a bit to get the body moving and it is good for us! AWESOME on that last mile. YEAH!!!

Hey Kelli, I told you August was better.

You are right!!! I just really had in my head that it wasn't. i have never been so glad to be WRONG. And don't you dare tell my husband that I just admitted to being wrong, I will deny it.
