Warmed up for 20 minutes today and also got attacked by a dog!!! I never even hear him coming, next thing I know he is biting my leg!! Good thing I had on pants, I turned and screamed at him and then even took a punch at him. He turned and ran away, so I will need to go and talk to the owners today. Kellie runs by there every morning.. Today was supposed to be 1 min intervals, but I will be in Salt Lake on Thursday morning so I decided to to the 30 min tempo run today and then do intervals on Friday. Pace was suppose to be 6:39-6:5. splits Mile 1 6:48 - The wind was bad this morning out of the east and then every turn it would kind of knock me around. Started the tempo on the top of dairy road and then ran North to Powerhouse. Mile 2 - 6:39 - I didnt realize that I was going that fast, the wind kept changing and I had to run with Kellie's watch and it only showed ave pace and not lap pace. I just decided to get into a groove to where I was breathing comfortable and that I felt like I wasnt killing myself. Mile 3 - 6:38 - this mile did have a little down hill but not much, things felt great, legs were turning good and my lungs were happy. I felt like I could have held a conversation at this pace. Mile 4 - 6:37 - OOPS??? THis is still feeling easy and I was just enjoying the music, but also wanted to slow down a bit and not hurt myself. I felt like I could have ran forever today. My back feels great, it must be because of the new shoes?? Mile .49 - 3:18 (6:43) I turned and ran behind Stokes and finished near the High School. I made sure that I slowed down for the last mile so that I didn't get into to much trouble...jk Ave pace for 30 min 6:41!!
16 minute run back to the house, quick stretch and shower and then out the door!!
