7.13 mi, 1:04:39, 9:04
Since I was close to getting 100 miles for the month, I decided to break with my very low mileage days and run 7 miles despite tired legs. One good thing I discovered was that the "tired legs" feeling does go away after about 4 miles, so maybe it's just really stiff and tight legs making them feel extra hard to move.
Ran from my house, out to the Y, taking the short route. Stopped there for the water fountain and took a gel before turning back. Ran into Jenny while running past the golf course on my way home. Last mile was at 7:40 (much better than first mile which was at 11:25 pace).
I also tried my new SanDisk mp3 player with bluetooth which worked fine but has horrible sound quality (at least when listening over bluetooth). I've got a cheaper one by AGPTEK with much better sound but it won't play AAC files when using bluetooth headhphones (AAC aka mp4 or m4a - I had to rename all the mp4 files to .m4a to get them to work on the SanDisk player). I might have to keep a set of files converted from mp4 to mp3 so I can use the cheaper but better sounding player.
Finally, while leaving for work, backing out of my garage I felt a bump, like running over something. So, I stopped, pulled back into the garage and opened my door to get out. Next to my door, inside the garage was about a 4 foot long alligator. He/she just walked away. Was not expecting an alligator in my garage. Must have gotten lost while going from one pond to another.
