Began the morning with a 6 mile run up Birch with Amber. It was good, my feet stayed dry the entire time! Also, I cleared a log going up which we have had to jump over the last few months. It’s not super high, but it is pretty big. Coming back, though, it was a usual fail, but still enjoying the trails. Can’t wait for the fall.
In the afternoon (about 86 degrees), I did the needed workout from yesterday. 6 mile power run at 7-7:10. My body has not adjusted to running with food, even if it had 3 hours to settle, so that made the run exciting. Well, this is how the workout turned out... warmed up a mile and did 4 strides. Then, began running. I felt really good going fast, and it felt too comfortable. My stomach didn’t like me, but that was the least of my problems. 6:38, 6:51, 6:29, at this point everything was feeling too good, then the heat hit me. 7:47 was the next mile. I was still on pace, but I stopped and it was hot. So, I cooled down over a mile. It was decent. I still feel good about the run, after 3 miles, I was just over 20 minutes. Now, I need to be more consistent and not allow food to mess with me. Great day.
