So, I've been trying to make an effort in paying attention to my running splits. With Ryan there to cheer me on, why wouldn't I? Currently, I run posi-negative splits which is my way of saying I don't pay enough attention and end up all over the board--I start out with a huge negative split, have positive splits for the middle miles and maybe a slight negative split for the last mile (for more information on running splits and what they are check here and here).
Please do...
I had my alarm set and my workout clothes all ready to go this morning, but when my alarm went off I just couldn't make myself do it. BUT, I did go this evening after getting done with work around 4:45 and realizing IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUT!!!
I checked online and saw that I still had 2 hours before sunset. Halle-freakin-lujah!
I jumped into my running clothes, grabbed one happy dog and headed out.
We did 3.5 miles--not one bit of it walked, thank you very much. Saw 7 deer along the route...7 not very happy deer once Mac caught sight of them.
After our run...who looks more tired? Admittedly, I did not chase deer all over a field.
My splits weren't very good (sorry, Ryan). I did my usual too-fast-first-mile, too-slow-second-mile, and started to even out a bit on the final mile and a half. But, I was aware of my pace which is more than I can say about previous runs.
I came home and did my kettle bell sets. Once again, I am so glad I purchased my own kettle bell. It's so nice to be able to pick one up whenever I want and not have to hit the gym!
Happy Tuesday!!
