5.6 miles, 9:46 pace
51 degrees, 8am start
I had high hopes of KILLING miles this week, but after so many hills, and such long runs, my legs were totally shot today. Every step was a struggle that felt like running thru a ball pit. Or what I assume that would feel like. That actually sounds kinda fun. I tried out new gear- a hydration pack (as opposed to the belt I normally use) and that went ok after a couple of stops to adjust it properly. The water tasted funny, but once I flush the bag out, hopefully that will right itself. Fortuntely, i didn't NEED the water- I was just testing out the pack, so it wasn't a big deal.
Starting at later times has been really nice. If only my regular work weeks happened like this. Giving myself more time to wake up before I'm out the door is definitely beneficial- it's just not normally possible. Its also helped since we're dog sitting this week, and the schedule in the mornings has had to adjust as a result. My dogs know the drill- if mom is spending forever in the bathroom and comes out in running shoes- just stay in bed. The new dog hasn't quite grasped it yet and thinks things are HAPPENING. Sorry dude. None for you.
