Looking at my ticker, I'm 5 days away from being in the 7 month range of my goals. 7 months. Wow!
Today I ran a 4 miler, including a mile WU and CD. I started off facing the sun. Yuck. The first mile sucked. I could feel my energy draining. I looked across the street and there was more shade there, so I turned around and went back. SO MUCH BETTER! The heat has always been my enemy. I know the heat will slow me down and its going to be uncomfortable, but I just fall apart when faced with it. I've got to start getting up early now that the heat is here and do my runs in the morning. Plus, I hate doing them in the evening as I would rather be home at that time. Once I can get used to getting up early again, it's not a problem. It's like when I used to stay up all night in high school. If you can make it through that point where you want to close your eyes & sleep, you can stay up all night. I know.... I'm a little crazy.
I haven't stayed up all night since those days and don't really care to, but, I do want to learn to sleep 4-5 hrs a night and still feel good the next day. But that's a story for another day. lol
So anyways, the next 2 miles were wonderful! I had negative mile splits: 12:25, 12:00, 11:53. The last .20 mile, I was running at about a 9 mile pace! What a great feeling!
Nothing new on the school forfront. Classes are going well, I have an exam and paper due. Tomorrow I plan to work on the paper and study. I also plan to run at least 3 miles and maybe make it into a tempo run.
Good job!!
