Sweat
June 25, 2010
Distance: 4 miles.
Successes: I am back running 12.5 minute miles, which is a nice ways away from the ~15 minute mile I was running during when I first started doing 4 mile runs. There is room for improvement.
This run went pretty well, and I enjoyed this course, which includes 2 tails - one at the beginning (RDM) and midway (APS). It eliminates the need to run on the track and even adds a hill at the end, which I still am not able to run up in its entirety. I will someday. Soon.
I have figured out that it takes me about an hour to totally cool down in this warm weather. I was sweaty for far longer than I wanted to be, and caused me a little aggravation when I went back out into the world. I guess my body just takes longer to cool off than I thought. Must learn to fully accept and deal with it.
Next run: Monday, 3 miles.
Onward!
