Another weekend gone, but it's been a good one. Falltime is a great time of the year. Today was sunny, 70-75 degrees - can't get much better than that. :)
I sort of "vegged" around the house until the evening time when I decided to do an easy 2.5 miles. When I started off, my HR got to 140 pretty fast and by the time I hit the 1/2 mile mark I felt like doo-doo. This was going to be a tough run, which is probably lingering effects of yesterday's "hard run." By the time I hit the 2 mile mark, my body seemed to shift into auto-pilot. When I passed my truck at the 2.5 mile mark, I felt so good that I just kept going. 8 miles of running later, I decide to quit. What a satisfying run! If it wasn't for me running out of light, I would've kept going.
Run: Easy, 8.0 miles in 1 hour 27 min 55sec (10:59 avg). HR avg 146(77%)
So what would've happened if I let my laziness get the best of me? I would've missed one of my most enjoyable runs to date go to waste..
