Workout:
8.37 Mile Run – 1:24:40
75 Minute Walk with
Dogs – 3.39 Miles
I took it easy today
and did a nice, slow, long run. I didn’t
head out until 4:30 so it was nice and warm while I was running. I wanted to run at a little bit faster pace,
but I could definitely feel the heat affecting me. Instead of trying to run quicker and burn
myself out, I stayed at a leisurely pace.
Apparently my speedier 9:00 mile pace is only for 5 miles or less, for
now.
I ran the first couple
miles in town so I could hit a few inclines, then I took it to the bike trail. I was hoping that by running on the trail it would
be easier on my knees. The path was
really rough, bumpy, and packed down though so it was actually a little tough
to run on. After about 4 miles on the trial,
I was back in town and it actually felt really nice to be back on a nice, even,
flat surface.
Since it was so warm out,
I wore my hydration belt that Nick got for me last summer. It has four 6oz bottle around it and two
little zipper pockets. I filled 3 with
water and the 4th with orange G2.
I ended up drinking all of it before the end of my run. Now I know that as I continue to increase my
mileage, I’ll have to make sure to pass a water fountain on my route so I can
refill my bottles.
After soaking up so
much sun today, and getting so many miles in, I am one tired lady. It’s going to be an early bedtime tonight!
Thanks for taking the
time to stop by!
