My alarm went off at 5:15 and I turned it off.  I went to bed later than normal last night.  Eli has a cold and he took a long time to fall asleep.

I ran at about 5:30 p.m. instead.

Every time I do a run like this I realize I would really like a garmin.  How many times have I posted that?  Maybe for my birthday--only 3 weeks or so!

I did a ladder, starting at 5, going to 1 with equal rest time.  On my first 3 min fast, I accidently went 4, but no big deal.  I estimate that my fast times were somewhere around 7:45 or so, since I averaged 8:30 pace for the run altogether.  This is why I need a garmin :)  The other reason is because I use mapmyrun and it doesn't have the streets in southern Rantoul exactly right.  I don't know how long it takes to get with the times, but construction on those streets ended 3 years ago. 

 It is not as humid out today.  It was windy, but not terribly so.  I felt strong through the run. 

Also did a little pilates.  About 15 minutes

I was exactly like you...I kept talking about getting a garming and blah blah blah...then REI had a sale and rebate and voila! I finally bought it. I love it too btw. Still trying to use all the features just to see what I can or can't find useful on it.

Have you always been that quick of a runner? Any tips?
