Good Run

I am so not a morning person but today I decided to try to get in my long run before I travel to see my grand baby.  It was a good slow run.  I am still doing the Jeff Galloway method of run/walk/run. I am going to do my long runs at 3/1 intervals.  I tried to keep it really slow at a 13:30 pace but ended up somewhat faster without trying so I guess that is ok.

Split Time Distance Avg Pace Summary 51:37.5 4.00 12:55 1 13:18.9 1.00 13:19 2 13:04.6 1.00 13:05 3 12:24.7 1.00 12:25 4 12:49.4 1.00 12:51

Covered 4 miles.  This is the farthest I've run since I hurt my knee.  It started hurting just a bit at about 3.2, and then got progressively worse, although even at the end it wasn't enough to make me limp.  So, I'm icing it.  The heart stayed pretty much below 150 the whole time which is great for me.

Maybe I can train myself to get up and run early sometimes.  The sun wasn't out yet and even though it was humid it was more bearable that it has been in the evenings.
