Starting Late

… but finishing with a smile

Run du Soleil

sun

It has been wonderful running this past week in the Florida sun! Only one day was overcast and rainy and, still, I was able to get my run done in the morning before it rained. I even moved my long run up to Friday so it wasn’t too hot! :-) I would have normally taken Saturday off as the day after my long run, but when I heard that my running club had to cancel today’s run due to the severe weather and icy road conditions, I decided that I should get a run in every day I can while I have the sunshine!

Here are my runs for this past week:

Sun — 6.27 miles — 9:43 pace — breezy but warm

Mon — 5.00 miles — 10:25 pace — warmer still, nice leisurely run

Wed — 5.07 miles — 10:10 pace — cool and cloudy; ran the “hills” of The Villages (a self-proclaimed golf cart community — I had to dodge more carts than cars!)

Fri — 13.1 miles — 9:56 pace — very nice run, but it got quite warm by the end (but I’m NOT complaining)

Sat — 3.1 miles — 9:46 pace — first time since my stress fracture for a 5th run during the week; also first week with over 30 miles since then

One more day to run in the warm sun. It’s going to be a rude shock to run in the cold again in just a few days…
