The Workout: Run 30 minutes @ MI
Surprisingly 4am didn't come too early! The alarm went off and I rolled (almost) effortlessly out of bed. 6 hours of sleep should suit me well... time will tell. It used to be fine, but now in the aged body of a 31 year old I just don't know! Ha! ok I'm only mostly kidding. I just still can't believe I'm 31, I feel like I'm still in my early 20's. You're only as old as you feel right?
So, for the run, it was good. Better temps in the morning, it was wicked humid though since it just rained, but definitely an improvement to running outside in the daylight. I'm going to have to be a vampire runner and avoid sunlight in order to make any gains in this intense heat. It was about 80F... at 4:30am. :(
I found my HRM Heart Rate Monitor and wore that this morning. I'll put my averages for each split below. Other than that, I don't have a lot to say! Looking forward to tomorrow morning.
Mile 1: 8:14 141
Mile 2: 7:32 162
Mile 3: 7:35 164
Mile 4: 7:00 175
Looking at that route, it looks super boring! It just so happens that the only lit streets at 4:30am are the main ones, and even though I'm a strapping lad, I'm not going to go running on the unlit trail. Not for my safety, of course... but for the safety of those who may be lurking!
