After another late night (really need to work on getting to bed earlier) I got up at 6:30 this morning so I could run before class. It also meant I didn't have to run in the 90 degree temperature when I got home.
Today's run felt good. I grabbed a swig of orange juice and bite of danish on my way out.
I ran 4.7 miles in 51 minutes, making is an average of 10:51 min/mile. Max pace was 9:05 min/mile. My average heart rate was 166 bpm, while my max was 181 bpm. I burned a total of 681 calories. I ran the first 4.2 miles straight.
I am getting excited about Saturday's race. Hopefully race-day-adrenalin will kick in and I'll be able to make it in under 40 minutes. (Today's 4 mile mark was 43:15).
Today's animal count:
20 pedestrians
12 birds
4 dogs
3 cats
2 squirrels
1 spider
1 turtle
I would like to get a big dog to run with.

Mrs. Bixby (would need a name change)
Hmm...what good timing...I am home or close to home....
