Today was rough! According to the weather, it was 132 degrees Fahrenheit when I went out! Now, we all know it wasn't actually (more like 70 degrees), but it sure felt like it! The weight of the humidity in the air felt like I was running with an extra ten pounds strapped to my middle.
And if that wasn't bad enough, there were birds everywhere this morning. And Harley is a Catahoula Cur mix, which means he was bred to be a hunting dog.. So he was trying to chase all of the birds. One time, he actually darted in front of me and halfway across the road to chase a bird that had swooped past. Thankfully there wasn't a car coming.
Today's stats are:
Time - 37:07 minutes
Distance - 2.44 miles
Fastest - 10:17/mile
Slowest - 34:48/mile
Avg. Pace - 15:12/mile
Calories Burned - 260
I believe that I'm going to bump up my mileage next week from 7.5 miles to 10 by adding in an extra running day. So my new running schedule will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'll be adding in repeat day for my C25K program instead of advancing to the next week. I may even be repeating Week 3 next week as it's pretty tough and Week 4 will be even tougher. Week 4's workout is run 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, run 5 minutes, walk 2.5 minutes, run 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, run 5 minutes. I'll give it a try Monday before I make my final decision, however.
I'll see you tomorrow for my weight in!
