During the night I heard it raining, so first thing I did when the alarm went off at 4:45 this morning was look out the window. It was not raining so I got dressed to run outside. I got outside and realized it was cooler then I expected. I went back in and got a vest and seriously considered just going back to bed. I managed to make myself go back outside and run. I pushed myself hard. The vest turned out to be more then I needed and I got hot pretty quickly. I was holding a great pace and at five miles I did some quick mental math and figured out that in order to get my last mile in 8:30 I would have to finish in 52 minutes. The last half mile I was sucking major wind but I kept pushing myself and finished my 6 miles in 51:13. That is an 8:32 pace!!!! I know for some people that is no big deal but it is amazing for me.
I was going to go to the Rec Center and do Cindy’s 6:00pm toning class tonight but I just called her to make sure what she was teaching. She told me she is NOT teaching tonight or next week, due to her up coming competition. Glad I called; her class is just not the same when taught by someone else. Guess I will just go to her interval class in the morning.
