Run: Anne & 5 miles in :43:40 min. @ 7:00 p.m.

Weather Report: Cloudy, 55°F, 88% Humidity, Winds: From S @ 11 mph; feels like 51°F.

Pace: :08:44 per mile

It seems like days since I last ran and today, in keeping with my plan, I not only trained for thirty minutes with Anne (3 min. Walk, 4 min. Run, 6 min. W, 4 min. R, 6 min. W, 4 min. R, 3 min. W), but I also took to the streets. While my run went "well," I did err in eating two slices of cold pizza about a half-an-hour prior. The cold pizza always gets me... after roughly five miles, I was lucky to have Anne pass me in her car on the way to the grocery store and offer me a ride.

Psychologically, it would have been easy to feel "defeated" by my inability to "finish" what I had started, but in the end, I did still log a fiver... and besides, there was an internal recognition that given my intent to run this evening, I knew I was playing fire when I devoured all that pizza!

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
