Ran this route this morning, 6.8 miles out and back in 1:40.

I was planning on going all the way to work to pick up my Shuffle and bring up a desktop computer to remote into, but bailed on the longer trip when I passed the 45 minute mark. I remembered this being about half way and was concerned about making my morning commute into my morning run but GoogleMaps has a route that is only 5.4 miles:

and I believe I can get that done. I love the idea of two runs a day, I just hope my body loves it also. I am taking it quite easy since it has been a long time since I ran seriously. I have joined the fitness center at work and will drive if it is raining and do some treadmill work instead.

This was the first time I had run with a backpack on. I have a little string pack that I got from Posted in Run, Saturday, Procrastination, Treadmill, Morning, Shuffle | 1 Comment »

Ran in the heat today

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I didn’t get out to begin my run until after 10:00. I ran three with a lot of walking and a mile walk. I took water and did make it fine. It rained on me a little bit on mile 1 and 3 which helped the humidity a lot. Here is the current weather from http://weather.com:

More but less

30 minutes on Friday, something like 2.5-3 miles, with 30 minutes walking. Tonight I ran to the local high school (1 mile or so) and ran one two minute 440 and then ten minutes of stairs. The bleachers are not as tall as the steps so I did them instead. Run up/walk down. I plan on adding 440s and stairs times as I go. Tomorrow should be just a longish run.
