Out Again Today…

… on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

It wasn’t what I’d call a destination run – but it was outside my usual neighborhood.

The church 0rgan is temporarily fixed, so I headed over after lunch to practice for tomorrow’s service.  I figured while I was there – I’d try a quick 2 MILES AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

My RUNKEEPER APP WORKED FINE today.  I was able to do a 5/1* training run.  I was out there for 30 minutes, but because there’s HORRIBLE cell reception in the area – I had to edit the course map online.  There were all kind of CRAZY pings from satellite bounces that made it seem like I was running further and faster that I know is possible.

Well. For ME.

The exciting thing for me about this afternoon’s run was that it was a new area and I was challenged by hills, unfortunately dogs and it was also very windy today.

But I don’t mind – after being down a day with some nasty sickness – I put in a pretty good run.

I’ve been consistent about the short 2 mile runs – but I’m getting nervous about putting up some longer runs.

Patience, grasshopper…

*5 minutes of running, 1 minute of walking.  I’ve decided to try shorter intervals for the Half Marathon.
