A Good Run

Today was a good run. Considering the past few runs I've had (crash 'n burn, 11 miles, and crappy run) I was very glad to have this one. It was about 50 degrees, sunny and hardly any wind. In other words, it was perfect for running. My wonderful wife was walking again so it was nice to see her as I was running.

The run felt very good. I decided to only run 4 miles today due to my crappy run on Monday and tired run on Sunday. I felt I could have gone more at the end, but I decided not to push it too much and keep it an easy 4-miler. I ran it in 32'25" or about an 8'07"-mile. So that is pretty on par with what I have been running. I do think though that I got the time down a little by pushing it the last half mile or so. The run felt too good to pass it up.

My new shoes held up great, and they felt especially cushy when I had to briefly run on pavement. I've also added in my running log the total mileage for the week. I'm a little obsessed with spreadsheets and it's really easy to upload excel files to google docs. Oh well.

I should be running again tomorrow. I am shooting for 5 miles. I'll let you know how it goes.
