Day 174, 191 To Go

June 23, 2013

This was not a happy Sunday ; o (  No long run and my calf still hurts.  I suppose I did salvage part of my Sunday by going to see Superman: Man of Steel with Caleb.  The movie was pretty good, I thought.  Lots of character buildup in the first half and then lots of destruction the second half.  We got the best of both worlds!

Anyway, Honey and I went out for a run during the day in the heat and it was very hot and humid.  Honey melted and I had to leave her in a puddle on the street.  She has since evaporated and we will never hear from her again.

Only kidding, I scrapped her off the pavement and brought her inside and nursed her back to health.  As you can see below, we went at a very easy pace.  Partly because Honey is not used to running in the heat and partly because I wanted to take it easy on my calf.

There doesn't seem to be any escape from the summer heat unless we run at close to 8pm, sometimes 7pm.  On the off chance that the weather is not sweltering, the run ends up being really pleasant.  And by not sweltering, I mean in the 80s with only mild humidity.  I'd kill for that on my daily run!!

Here are our numbers:

Time: 20:00

Distance: 1.60 miles

Pace: 12:29/m

Max Pace: 10:26/m

Calories: 181
Avg HR: 99

Max HR: 108

This coming week I need to run four days for 25 minutes instead of just two.  This is going to be made difficult because I have family visiting and I am lazy.  The former reason is probably the more prevalent reason, although you can't discount laziness. 

Run for Life!!
