10.6 miles. Pace: 6:33. Time: 1:09
Good run today little faster than I wanted to run, but I got up late
because I'm working on a computer on the side for a customer. The
system comes up with "a Disk error occurred" and I replaced the disk
and everything works except sometimes it hangs at the window logo with
the new disk in place. This only happens on a cold boot. When I just
restart Windows ( yes I know the worst operating system made),
the system comes up fine.. This had me up till after midnight, and my
troubleshooting has led me to believe that it could be a problem with a
component on the motherboard. There is a bios upgrade which I'm
thinking about trying.. I changed the bios to load defaults. Okay I
don't know why I'm rambling about this here, but it's a blog right?
Anyway, I didn't want to get up, but knew I wanted to at least get 10
miles in so I ran a little faster, but the effort wasn't hard. I just
wanted to run at a slower pace with the high mile week last week. My
plan is to only shoot for 70 miles this week. I ran up and down
everyone of our downtown streets this morning which was different and
fun. This time of year with the Christmas lights the runs are very
enjoyable. Last few mile splits (6:27, 6:26, 6:33, 6:14, 6:23).
I'm hoping to get a run in on my lunch hour. Lunch 6 miles with the dog. I wanted to go slow, because I had an ear ache and wasn't feeling the best the dog had other ideas. First mile 6:39 okay maybe he will get tired. Not too fast, but I was thinking 7 minute miles. Second Mile 6:06, its like the dog was thinking we were trying out for the Olympics or something.. Third mile 6:29 okay dog its time to cool your jets (mostly a small gradual uphill). The last few miles were around high 6:30's for a 6:33 average overall. He finally seemed to settle down the last couple, and that felt good since we were running in a very strong headwind.
