Today it was 60 degrees outside!!!! This weather is beautiful and so crazy!! three or four days ago it was a blizzard and we got 6 inches of snow haha..well needless to say I definitely took advantage of this beautifulness and ran outside on a different path. I did so well!! This weather definitely gave me a little extra burst of energy :) i noticed i was running a 9:30 min/mile when i was about three quarters of the way done!! I do however regret checking the time cuz haha i slowed WAYYY down after that. I was so surprised that i went that fast then all of a sudden my side hurt, my calves burned and i couldn't breathe haha..amazing what happens when my mind takes a little break from distracting itself. Anyway my mile was an 11:12 min/mile..not counting the last one i did (which in my book shouldn't count haha) i shaved off 7 more seconds :) Anyway i named this one killer dog, because half way through my run a random chocolate lab decides to charge at me and puppy!! Out of panic I yelled at the dog and told him no, so instead of charging at me he turned to go after my dog..so superRachel decides to jump in front of my dog in an effort to save him. I yelled no one more time and gave a quick swing of my foot (don't worry i barely got him) and the pathetic thing ran away!!!! After that i kept on running and the end haha. that was my interesting story for my workout today.
As of yesterday there was no workout!! i had zero energy!!! i knew that if i attempted to run my time would have been probably three times worse than the 13 min/mile i ran the other day... so i decided to rest and I took a wonderful nap haha..it lasted 2 hours!!!!
Yay! :) Glad you survived the faster mile and that killer dog. Haha
