My goal was to run out to GU corner, out and back, and my legs were feeling pretty good so I pushed the pace a little bit. I had an 8:12 on mile 3 and then on mile number 5 I did a 7:28 my average pace was 8:32 with my heart rate at 148, total time was 1:08:46. This is the longest run that I have had since the SGM and it showed the last few miles I was working pretty hard, my hip was great but my foot started to hurt towards the end and right now its a little sore I'm sure it will get worse as the day goes on, I hope not... It felt good to get a little bit of a longer run in for a change, it was getting kind of boring doing just 4 miles a day but I have to stick to this lower mileage for now, I need to get my foot healed up! No shooting stars again this morning, I got out a little later so it wasn't dark enough, oh well;-D
Well I think I will go and sit by the fire for a moment, it was pretty cold this morning, I would say the coldest so far this year. As soon as it warms up a bit this morning I will be back into my lighting bonanza, I am at 6,000 lights and counting. Every year I tell myself that I am crazy but I have been doing this since I was a kid so I just seem to stay with it, oh well tis the season... |
