4 am run. I was determined to get done by 7...so I had to wake up a little earlier. I made it by about 10 minutes before 7

My garmin died sometime after mile 11.75...and I say that b/c I did one loop of 8.5 miles went home, switched the laundry, got more water, and got the yellow dog and went back out to do and out and back of 3.75. it died sometime after that 3.75. Garmin must not have been connected well to the charger b/c i did get it from the charger.

Any who...I will try to remember to update with atleast my average pace. For now I have to make sure the house is some what clean. My friend and her baby are coming over. SO is cleaning up the kitchen (rennovation is still going on but he he cleaning up tools he doesn't need for the rest of the job)

Oh I ran 16 this weekend so that next weekend I will run a 10 mile long run. So I switched my long runs. I won't be too broke up if I end up skipping the 10 miler all together but i'm pretty sure I can get it in before work on Friday.

 

I realized on this run that with in 1.5 miles of my house there are cows! My dog didn't know what to think. It was pretty funny!

What a motivated, multi tasking runner you are! Switching to today for the 16 miler seems to work with you schedule next weekend.

Way to go 4:00am! I did the same today. It feels good to get that long one done before most people are out of bed huh?

Great job! So funny about the cows. It's always funny when a dog encounters a cow, or a horse etc for the first time.

4 am? Wow. That is dedication! Way to get 16 miles done in the early morning.

I am either dedicated or got a little insane...LOL

I vote for insane. It takes one to know one :)

Wow! Great miles today--and so early.

Sounds like a good idea to switch next week and this week, since you weren't sure how to get in the miles. I'm sure the 10 will be more manageable next week when you're out of town.
