Almost Fall

Wow, the weather this morning was fantastic. The temp was in the upper 60s and there was NO humidity. I even wore my running pants (which I prefer) instead of my shorts.

June and I were going to tackle 4 miles together, and then I was going to do an extra 4. Since our runs have been getting slower (due to talking, we realized), we decided to aim for consistent 12 minute miles. We averaged 12 minute miles.

Mile 1 - 11:15! Woo-hoo! Although up until the .5 mile mark, we were on a 10 min/mile pace and she had to slow me down (I'm sometimes horrible with pacing myself) and there were no walk breaks.

Mile 2 - 13 and some change (not bad, considering we walked 5 minutes of that 14)

Mile 3 - 12:16

Mile 4 - A bit over 13, but it was our cool down mile.

My last 4 miles averaged out at 13:15 min/mile because I was getting tired and lazy, but the weather was wonderful! Tomorrow is supposed to be even cooler; to bad I told one of my TNT mentees that I'd meet him at 6:30am for coffee. But tomorrow evening is the second time trial, so I need to save my legs for that.

Time to nap!

Cheers!
