Workout: 4.5 Miles

Time: 37:20

Weather: Hot and Humid

So today was another hot and humid day.  So I said to myself, where should I go running?  Well, I don’t want to run on roads, because I wanna make sure I don’t hurt my leg again.  And I don’t want to run at the park at North Brunswick, because the wind on the back mile of the loop is just brutal.  So what do I decide on?  Oh yes, the hot and humid, jungle like Tow Path, that’s what.  I love sweating profusely.  Ha.

So yeah, did 4.5.  I had to stop at .2 because my Garmin for some reason had set itself to bike mode, so it wasn’t showing the normal info that it normally shows.  All fixed, I took off.  First 2.5 miles were pretty good, around a 7:55 pace.  The last 2, well, a little slower…like an 8:40 pace.  But…the Garmin shows what your fastest pace was each mile.  That’s where the good stuff comes in…I had 4 of the 5 splits with a “best” pace of under 7 minutes.  The best was a 5:24 during the first mile.  That’s because people were out there so I ran faster to make it look like I was hardcore.  Ha!

Anyway, all in all it was a good workout.  Lookin to get another 2-3 in before the long run this Sunday.  Should be easy enough to do, especially with 5K I’m running on Saturday.

Well, that’s it for now.  I am exhausted.  Until next time…

Run on friends!
