So I got up at six to run 4.5 today. I did some stretching and strength exercises (by that I mean push-ups and ab-type stuff), then headed out. The sun was not quite up when I started. Within the first half-mile the sun poked its nose above the Atlantic, and I swear the temperature jumped 15 degrees. It felt so cool when I started that I left my water at home, and by the last half-mile I regretted it. Still, I felt okay over all. Took about 1.5 miles to really feel warmed up, but I eventually got in the groove.
Final stats:
4.5 miles
40:14
8:57/mile
Not too bad.
Mike out!
Water- I generally don't use it unless I'm going over 5-6 miles or it is unusually hot and humid.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Mike...you are keeping it U9 and that's pretty tough to do day in and day out. Day off for me, so I think I'll do some exercises just to keep that "edge". - C
