Two (Short) Runs Over Two Days!

Run 2: 4.3 miles in :31:50 min. @ 4:45 a.m.
Pace: 7:24 min./per mile

Weather: Partly Cloudy, 40°F, 79% Humidity, Wind: SW @ 8 mph; feels like 34°F
Course: My street to Milburn Street right on Barrington Street, left on East Avenue, right onto Winton Road, right onto Highland Avenue, veer right at Monroe Avenue, finally a last right onto Canterbury Road and on til morning!

Waking up, I planned the night before to run only 4.3 miles, but the desire to go further is gnawing at the edges of my understanding… “I could do two loops, couldn’t I?” “You could, but sty the course.” “Two loops couldn’t hurt, though, could it?” “Just because you can do it, doesn’t mean you should.”

Calming down I decide to do as I had planned, run the single loop, but promise myself that if I do feel better after work, I owe myself one more loop before dark…
or better yet, maybe a couple of hill repeats!

Rewind to Yesterday, Monday, October 29...

Run 1: 1.5 miles in :19:04 min. @ 5:30 p.m.
Pace: 12:43 min./per mile

Weather: Cloudy, 52°F, 59% Humidity, Wind: SW @ 15 mph; feels like 52°F
Course: the normal loop around our neighborhood

Though today was a “recovery day” when Anne asked if I’d like to go on a “running trip” with her, I could not resist. The weather and company were perfect for an early evening run around the neighborhood.

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