Distance: 1 mile
Time: 8:14
Location: Powhatan Road
*Note - This run occurred Wednesday, May 4th.
Another crazy day. The house we looked at on Monday ended up being just what we were looking for, so we decided to make an offer on it today. I had to rush home yet again. But after a hectic day a run is sometimes the best remedy. I headed out on my standard route again. I felt pretty good, and I was able to run on my toes for a bit longer than on Monday. Like usual, I began to feel fatigued after the halfway point. I came down on my heels for maybe 200 yards or so, but then I forced myself back on my toes and pushed it to the end. I was pleased to see I had run an 8:14, which is actually the second fastest I've ever run the Powhatan Route! I couldn't believe that after 5 months of not running at all I'd be able to catch back up this quickly. Again, I think a great deal of the reason is my lighter weight. At a steady 167 right now, I'm easily 10 pounds lighter than when I was running miles last summer.
Tomorrow I have to travel up to Ridgecrest for track finals. It's going to be a long day and I know I won't have time for a run. However, I'm looking forward to some good weekend runs!
