Happy 4th of July!!!

4 July 2009

Stats:

10 miles

1:31:24

9:09/mile

I checked the weather before I left just before 6 AM.  77 degrees.  95% humidity.  Actually didn't feel too bad.  I felt sluggish when I started, and I ran the first mile to mile and a half at 9:30 to 10:00/ mile.  I even got up well before that and stretched, etc.  Still couldn't get going.  But I didn't worry too much about it.  I took 16 oz of G2 (lemon/lime) and some Power Bar Gel Blasts (Cola with caffeine).  I ate one gel ever 30 min or so, and I'd finished the G2 by mile 7-8.

At the turn around I was between 47-48 min.  I felt good, so I picked up the pace a bit.  Looks like I was cruising because I made up a lot of time on the way back.  

I think I need new shoes as my feet and knees were a wee bit sore by the end of the run.  Then ate a little and went to surf tiny waves.

Not a bad morning.

Mike Ooooo-Aaaaahhhhhh out.
