Running - Feb. 18 - 24

[emily_in_nc]

I usually run at 6am, but since I had the day off I was able to sleep until 7:30 and even run in the light! It was a beautiful, blue sky morning, 58 degrees. Since I didn't need to be anywhere at any particular time I figured it was a good day to do a longer run. So, I did 3.75 miles, the first time I've run over 3.4 miles. My legs were really tired at the end and my pace suffered, but I managed to bring it in just under 10 minutes per mile.

MDHillSlug, congratulations on your longest run! That is a good pace too -- I'm a newer runner and currently running about the same distances as you, but slower -- more like 10:30 to 10:45 pace on the treadmill, and did a rolling 3.36 mile trail run on Sunday at a 12:17 pace (had to walk after the hills to keep my HR from going through the roof!)

Anyway, great job!
