Midweek Gift Run

Found myself out of school just after 3 today after attending a late-day meeting at a different school. So I couldn't stay after to do work. So I found myself HOME AT 3:15! Here's what I did with my extra hour:-)

3.62 miles
46:49 (12:55/mile)
Temp: 75 Humidity: 52%
Labored run. Grrr
R10/W1, R9/W1, R9/W1.5, R8.5/W1.5

Took a lot of effort, could be because I'm getting over complete laryngitis, I mean NO VOICE for three days (had a cold then went to Rutgers game and yelled away what little voice I had Thursday night--great game, so worth it, could be our last amazin' game, but I digress....). It seemed super humid, what with my high HR the whole way. And grrr, Garmin didn't kick in for about 12 min, annoying. But the weather was beautiful, loved seeing folks' Halloween decorations in the daytime, and it was good to come out of my cold/laryngitis stupor and just get out there:-)


Less than 4 wks to the Philly HM!

Midweek 3 miler

I am struggling with getting my midweek runs in...so I'm glad I snuck this in today in the mist/drizzle and daylight.

3 miles
34:44 (11:34/mile)
Temp: 62 Humidity: 80%

I pushed the pace a bit this run, was *just* slightly uncomfortable for the last 1.5 miles, probably due to the humidity (surprise, surprise). Bummer that Garmin lost the satellite connection when I was at mile 2.8 of my 3 miler, so I am guestimating the distance, but I think I am darn close:-) Ha, Garmin said my avg. speed for the last mile was 66.7 mph, lol, woo hoo, go me.

Mile 1 - 11:40
Mile 2 - 11:33
Mile 3 - 11:30

BTW, my last post, just wanted to clarify that I didn't get sick or anything from running on a belly full of Chile's Margarita Chicken (mercifully); just that I was impressed with my belly for hanging in there while I completed the run. I sure won't make running on such a full belly a habit, that is for sure! :-)
