Today I was not going to go out and run. Afterall, I did my first "long run" yesterday. But I needed to do something and I wasn't up for a walk since I needed to be at my parents house at 6:00 and it was already 5:00. So I decided to grab my phone to record my run, music, water and a wet towel around my neck and see how I do for a mile. I don't do well in the heat of the day so I wanted to be prepared.
I had an idea of how far I needed to go for 1/2 mile and turn around. It worked out perfectly. I had 1 1/2 blocks for a cool down before I was home. 11:57 for my time, now I need to make it so my mile isn't so labored. Maybe that is what I will do on my "off" days. I guess my goal is to run a mile and not think about when is this going to be over...it's a mind game, a game I am determined to win! :-)
Lesson #2: Don't eat cucumbers and then decide to run.
