Distance: 2.49 miles
Location: Apple Valley to Sitting Bull Academy
Ah, the sweet air of a late summer night! The temperature graciously dipped down to the 70s this evening, which is quite cool for a late August night up here. The clouds played dramatically with the light and the moon was bright and full. It was one of those peaceful, perfect nights. My training schedule had me getting in 25 minutes tonight, so with my MiCoach intact, I set out on a lovely run. Tonight's run felt great! I went down Apple Valley to Sitting Bull, then turned left and headed another quarter mile to Sitting Bull Academy, then retraced my steps back home. I felt like my pace stayed steady throughout, and I was able to muster a small kick at the end. My last run, on Sunday, I averaged a 10:01/mile pace, but tonight my pace was a 9:34/mile -- a nice improvement! My new shoes are feeling better each time I use them. I've officially logged 6 miles on them and I am definitely happy with them -- very comfortable and light.
Things are going great so far since getting the MiCoach! Again, more than likely I would not be running right now without that cool device. I'm stressed out at work, which normally squashes all my motivation, but I've found a new drive and I plan on going strong for as along as I can, even through the freezing high desert winter! Tomorrow I am supposed to run, but it's going to be difficult to do that. I'm supposed to stay for the high school football game in Barstow, which means I may not be home till late. Plus it's my birthday, and I may give myself a birthday break. Hehe.
