As you remember yesterday, I was hestitant to say that it was a good week, because I still had a run today. Well, 10.12 miles later, *now* I can say it was a good week. 38.57 miles. 6 days of running out of 7. Not bad. Of course, I had to go on vacation to do this. Wonder if I can make it a habit. Well, I could, but living out in the street would put a damper to my running....
Today I ran 10.12 miles at a 9:05 pace. It sounds better than it felt. For the first 5 (!) miles, I felt sluggish. I couldn't get a rhythm going. I started out pretty early, but since I was going to finish up in daylight, I didn't bring my night running gear (reflective vest, headlamp). The ironic thing was that I was listening to a podcast where they were interviewing the President of Go Motion Gear -- the maker of high-end lighting for runners. Go figure. I thought very highly of the interview, but after checking their website, felt that although the gear looks very good, I don't want to spent $80 on lighting. You should check it out though. I personally like the waist belt add-on, and they are supposed to work very well, but $80 is $80.
I hope to continue my streak next week by running at least 5 days. Tomorrow, however, I'm taking off.
