The Long Run
According to GPS, I ran 8.06 miles in 1:41:39. I was running at a pace of 12:36/mile. If I were able to maintain that pace for the entire 13.1, I would finish in approximately 2:45... which is 6 minutes under my goal (and a whopping 36 minutes faster than my previous best!) I am DEFINITELY on the right track!
Random Thoughts from My Run
- People who run on Sundays are infinitely more friendly than people who run on Saturdays (excluding the FDCers, of course).
- What's with the rooster? I am used to seeing peacocks when running through the Grove, but not sure I'll ever get used to seeing roosters when running on Key Biscayne.
- I'm really thirsty. (Followed by) I love orange Gatorade.
- There really is nothing more magical than the view of the city from Key Biscayne (in darkness on the way out over the bridge AND at daybreak on the way back over the bridge).
- I made it to the TOP!!!
- Crap, did my toenail just fall off?
- Didn't shuffle play this song already? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I don't have that much Pitbull on my running mix.
- Where the f&%$ is the bike rack?
- The ginormous pack of bikers is significantly less impressive than the single rider.
- Wow, did I really just pass the skinny girls?
- Ok, now I'm pretty sure my toenail fell off.
- I'm going to make red velvet cupcakes today.
- (Re: an oncoming - shirtless - runner) Wow, he has nice abs.
- (After we passed each other) Damn, that dude smells like the line at Disney World.
- I'm feeling pretty good. Scratch that, I'm totally rocking this run.
- If engineers have figured out how to construct a garment so that my boobs don't bounce when I run, why have they not yet figured out how to construct a garment so that my butt doesn't jiggle when I run?
Happy training,
Kellee
