5.46 and sunny!

Work this week has been very hectic and busy.  I had Book Fair this week, so my days were much busier and longer than normal.  I came home  every day exhausted, so thinking about running was not a real option. 

 It was supposed to rain and thunderstorm all day today, so it was very iffy whether or not I would be able to run. It rained pretty hard in the morning, but then the sun peeked out.  I was able to dress quickly and get out there and run.

I ran a total of 5.46 miles with a little slower pace than my last run, keeping it at 11:58.  I wore a rain jacket in case it started to rain, but ended up having to take it off and tie it around my waist.  I haven't had a day at home that was that warm, so this was weird!  I did push myself and ran as hard an fast as I could the last 3-5 tenths of the run at a 9:45 pace. But I don't think I could keep that up for a whole mile!

I was so glad I could get out and run.  Waiting a whole week to run was hard--I didn't like not running all week, but that is how it is sometimes.  So long as I get out there and can pick it back up, it's good.

    1. Thank you! I like to think that after a year of running I can actually call myself one!
