Well, I was unable to do any running this weekend. First it was because of the camp out I took my son on. Then it turns out I had a bad burger at a local road-side dinner on Friday night and all Saturday/Sunday I was sick in bed with some kind of stomach flu. Oh well, life happens. 🙂
Monday of this week saw me running a fairly brisk 5 miles around the local park. I loaded up a metronome app on my iPhone and wore the phone in a gel pack around my waist with the metronome happily clicking along at 180 bpm over the speaker. I’m sure quite a few people thought I was a little weird. Running barefoot, with this ‘ping pong’ ‘ping pong’ going on around me. Other than that, the run went well. I was averaging around 8:15 to 8:30 per mile. At the end I had a few hot spots (probably ran too fast in a few spots since I got down to around 7:00 minutes per mile on a few occasions), but nothing major. Hopefully the rest of the week will go as well.
