Nice run today, I actually was feeling really good and pushed the pace, I thought a lot....  At the times that I checked the time on my ipod there were times that said in the 7 min. range (can't remeber the specifics) and then several in the 8 min range and then averaged in the 9 min. range, and felt good the whole time?  So when I got home and saw that my average pace was 9:5? something I was very disappointed.  I think that maybe it is giving me false info because one time that I had pushed the button and it told me I was in the 9:?? something range and 2 mins. later up to 12:?? and I KNOW that I didn't slow much if any.  So I still feel like this was a great run and that I pushed hard, but either way I'm not sure if I trust the info? 

Maybe a garmin is in my future??

I haven't made it out yet but I'm going to try the blog now and committ to getting it done and run later approach today. So I hope to get in another nice 6-7 miles today, wish me luck!

Well I got it done! Seven miles! Average pace 9:35? I don't know what to think so I'm just not going to worry about it. I really don't think that the effort was as good as the other day but the pace was faster? I wonder if it has something to do with changing my sensor back and forth between different shoes, o well? Based on how I felt and effort today was still a good run and I may not have pushed as hard, I did get a good workout! Just glad to put some miles up on the board. Plan is to finish the week strong and then get back into my groove!!!

The sun came out today and it felt sooo nice! I had to take my jacket off about a half mile into the run. What a difference it made to see and FEEL the warmth of the sun. Even though the run wasn't easy, it was enjoyable. I should have went a little farther and made it six and more like seven that's just where I ended up when I got to the drive way. It's been a long exhausting week and I was ready to be done but still glad to have gotten out. The only bad thing about the run was the DOGS! Right now they are a four letter word in my book! Today I crossed five, yes FIVE pairs of dogs. By pairs I mean two at a time running towards me with teeth bared and ears back. Granted two of the pairs were the same that I met coming and going but still I feel like I had my fair share of the four legged creatures today! There are these two that I usually only encounter on Sats. (they must only get let out on Sat. or so I thought) but they were out yesterday and today. I still haven't bought me any pepper spray, but when if I start to carry some I know that I wouldn't hesitate to let them have a closer look!

TGIF and happy running everyone! I hope we all get to see this SUNSHINE through tomorrow!!!

The weather here was beautiful again today! Pushed through the run with a lot of different things on my mind today? Just glad it is Sat. but wish the weekends lasted longer!
