Tuesday after class I went out for a 6-8 mile run. I ended up going 7.5 miles. It felt nice. I ran: through the golf course, down Wiehle Ave, W&OD back towards the town center, down Reston Parkway, U.S. Geological, down Pinecrest, turned down Glade Dr, and back to Reston Parkway and home.
The golf course was nice, there were parts that it was very fragrant. This helped make it a relaxing run. Along with the flowers there were a few minutes of rain drops. This was the perfect temperature for a run.
It took me 1 hr 23 minutes to go 7.5 miles. This was around an 11:06 min/mile. My average heart rate was 169 bpm and I burned 1144 calories. I divided my run: 3 miles running, 0.1 mile recovery, 2 miles running, 0.1 mile recovery, 2.3 miles running. It felt good at the time, but I was definitely sore later that night.

Wednesday Matt & I biked out to play tennis. Of course as we hit the peddles (as we bike to the courts) the rain drops started to fall. We decided to stick it out and see if they would stop, which they eventually did. I have improved thanks to the lessons but I still have a ways to go. I should look for the foam balls and practice at the wall. Also a big basket of balls would come in handy working on my serve. More practice and patience will help...
I burned around 550 calories total while biking (for about 12 minutes) and playing tennis (about 1 hour).

Time to go out for my morning run before I head off to babysit. :)
