Days 7, 8 & 9

Well my writing fell off a little bit over the weekend, but my running didn’t.

Day 7:

Friday I got home from work and it was raining off and on, so I had to sneak in a short run between the thunderstorms. Felt ok not great, but I was happy to have kept my streak up for 7 straight days.  I mean even when I was in college (now granted I was a sprinter/hurdler) I very rarely ran more than 7 days without taking a day off, and most times it was just a 5 consecutive days and usually off on the weekends. 

Distance 1.04 miles

Time: 14:00min

Avg: 13:26

Day 8:

Saturday was a busy day at my house. We had company over at 9:30 in the morning meant that I was cutting the lawn right after making breakfast.  Then my wife and one of her friends took took our 3 year old and her 3 year old to a sneak preview of Cars 2. Which meant that I was home with the 3 week old and I’m not going to take him out into the FL heat.  So I didn’t get my run started until the evening and I took the 3 year old in the stroller with me.  Again it was really hot but I survived.

Distance 1.59 miles

Time: 21:59

Avg 13:49

Day 9 :

Ran late again, and it was hot again (95 degrees at least). Started trying to increase my run between walks up to two minutes.  Went pretty well but I was definitely out of breath at the end.

Distance: 1.42 miles

Time: 19:08

Avg: 13:27

Stay tuned
