I may not have actually slept 7 hours last night. I try to go to bed early, but I rarely can sleep well on Sunday nights. By 6:30, I was just proud to get out of bed and get out there. I ran a soft warm up mile, and met Sasha and Jeff down the trail. I then ran 3 faster miles--but three all together without stopping (8:24/8:00/8:17) Sasha's watch had me going a little faster, but I'll take these times (a little uphill none-the-less). We stopped at the house for a while to try and get the heart rate monitor hooked up to the Garmin --to no avail. While I stood there fidgeting with the Garmin, the sweat was just dripping down my arms. The overcast, humidity always makes for great sweating --or as I like to call it "hero sweating." A pretty schizophrenic running pattern today, but a great start to the week. Day 4 with no processed / refined foods or sugar, or chocolate :( I have not yet become homicidal, but the day is still young. |
