Hot, hot, hot. That's pretty much how my run was on Saturday; here are the stats for it:
Total time: 1 hour, 05 minutes
Average pace: 13:11
Best pace: 9:56
Weather: Temp was 86* at 0545, 98% humidity ("feels like" temp was 94*. At 0545. 94*.)
Song o’ the run: none
No "song o' the run" this time! I had a running partner (thanks Jolene!) so I didn't wear my iPod. We did see an armadillo though...funny animal, it just meandered across the street, like we weren't even there. Seriously, we had to stop and wait for it to get out of the way. I guess natural selection isn't always about the fastest thing out there (thank goodness ;^))...
I did discover a new hobby this week--cycling!! I got a bicycle on Friday and rode 11 miles on it Sunday. It was awesome. Now I'm also in training for a 100 mile ride...it's going to be challenging training for both a century and a marathon and a half, but I'm pretty sure I'll manage. Stubbornness isn't always a bad thing, lol!
I'll have more to post next week when I do my 6/12 split, although I'm planning to do more like a 6/6/6 split, just because I'd have to get up at 0300 to run before the sun really starts beating down. I am doing a "brick" workout on Sunday though--bike 8 miles and then run my last 6 mile split.
I'm at $275 for my contributions! I know it's a long way out but if you have a couple of dollars to give, I know the EOD MasterBlasters would appreciate your efforts to help their cause..and so would I! Please donate! =^)
