Yesterday

Last night I went out for my run even though it was Friday evening, and Friday's are usually always a day I take off!I have to admit my goal was also to run the whole thing, but the second mile was really kicking my ass. I did make it though.. In fact, the last two miles felt easier than the second mile. I'm not sure how that happens, but it made me feel good. I think the second mile has more inclines than any of the other miles, which are relatively flat. It took me awhile to get into my rhythm last night. The canal was empty. There was only 2 cars when I pulled in last night.

SO. Here are the stats:
Total Mileage: 5 miles
Temperature: 75 degrees
Start time: 6:15pm
1st mile end: 6:26pm (11 minutes)
2nd mile end: 6:39pm (13 minutes.....OUCH)
3rd mile end: 6:51pm (12 minutes)
4th mile end: 7:03pm (12 minutes)
5th mile was a combination of before the first mile marker and after.. don't count these times.

So, another thing I think worth mentioning is that for about 6 months now I've been hovering around the same weight. I hit a plateau a while ago and haven't been able to get past it. I got on the scale this morning and i'm down almost 3 pounds from the last time I got on the scale and this puts me at the lowest weight I've been in almost 4 years!!! I could hardly believe it. So now.. i'm kind of obsessed. I wasn't going to run today to give my legs a rest (I had a rest on Wednesday) but I'm thinking about going out this morning and running. I will certainly take off tomorrow, because if I run today I'll reach my 22 mile week goal and thats Awesome!!!

Wish me luck! :)
