Fitness Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 39:45
Pace: 9:55 min/mi

Comments: Well that was a delight. I got started extra early for a Saturday in an effort to beat the rain. I got done before the heavy stuff but didn't avoid getting rained on for about half of this effort. Not fun.

I started off pretty good given how creaky I felt. The second mile was very solid. It went to hell after that. My conditioning is completely kaput. The second half was a complete slog that got worse every stride. Still, I finished it. That was the goal.

Comments: Merry Christmas! To celebrate I finally laced up the running shoes and got out the door. It's been unseasonably warm this month and today was not an exception. I am a little disappointed in myself for passing up the ideal running conditions of the past several weeks.

This run was exactly what I expected. I'm out of shape and in woeful condition. But I held it together and got the four miles in I wanted. I honestly expected my pace to be hovering in the 10 min/mi range so I actually did better than I expected. Now to keep it up and get the routine started again.
