Workout: 4 miles, slow alert set at 8:45

Actual: 4 miles – 32:58 –  7:45, 7:58, 8:06, 9:06

And…he’s back.  After last weeks less than consistent workouts, I needed to start this week off with a bang.  So I set my Garmin to yell at me should I go slower than 8:45, and I was on my way.  Firt mile went well, probably would have been a little faster had I not hit traffic at the light.  Watch yelled at me as I was going up the first hill.  As I continued on the second mile, the watch yelled at my again as I ran up another hill or two.  Then mile 3…got yelled at several times…and it was getting hotter and hotter.  Not gonna lie, I stopped after 3 miles for a brief stop.  It was hot, and I was thirsty.  I walked another 2-3 times the last mile.  It was just too hot…and I was too thirsty.  I was very happy to be done…but still happy that I had a decent work out.

After stretching out, I made a quick change and headed off to the pool.  THAT was nice.  Heading to the pool here is like heading to a pool on vacation…gotta walk a little bit to get there, throw your stuff down on a chair, and walk on in to the built-in coolness.  Hung out for a little while, then headed back to the apartment.  Good workout and cooldown overall.

So hopefully the rest of the week goes as well as today did.  But we shall see.  My goal for tonight is to start up the 100 pushup and 200 situp challenge again.  Wish me luck.  Until next time…

Run on friends!
