Long run number one (5 miles) is done! It wasn't the easiest for sure, but it certainly wasn't the worst run I've done. What is so strange is how hard I feel like I'm working - and how slow my pace is! I know the heat has a lot to do with it, but man... to be huffing and puffing and not breaking a 10:00/mile pace is sort of maddening. Thank goodness it will be cooler by the time the marathon rolls around.
Anyway, back to this morning. It was an all out running party - Andy, Anna, Alyssa, and I got a nice early start. The heat didn't seem to bother Andy at all - he shot off and we didn't see him again until the end, so us girls enjoyed our run together, and especially enjoyed the people watering their lawns!
I was in a much better mood at work this morning than normal - thank you "runner's high." Tomorrow is the Jungle Jog 5k, yay! It has been ridiculously hot the past two years I've done this race, and tomorrow's forecast looks like the streak will continue. Tune in tomorrow for a race recap and pics!
Total Miles Run: 12.2
