After leaving church today and picking up Allie's Girl Scout cookies. I had seen a group of kids running outside so I came home and changed clothes and headed outside for a run. It was kind of nice and sunny for most of the run and then some gray clouds moved in. Towards the end of my run it started to rain which cooled me off since the rain was kind of cold. I knew that I needed to get my week 6 of my running program done and then I wanted to start on week 7 so why not combine them into one run right.
Well I started off strong on the path and knew that I could do a mile in 12 minutes so each time I passed the 1/4 mile mark I would bargain with myself saying I only had one more mark to go. Then I started on the road and this is where it messed me up, I felt like I had to constantly be watching the time on my Ipod since I forgot to put on my watch to help me times. At one point I had actually gone longer than the 12 minutes because I told myself I couldn't look at the time in till the song was over. I did the walk 5 minutes and run 12 minutes for three times since I had done that on Friday to be able to start my week 7 on Sunday. When I got done with the third one and then walked for 5 minutes I started my week 7 which was suppose to be walk 5 minutes and run for 14 minutes but for some reason I had 16 minutes in my head so I tried to do this but got mixed up on my time. I had also a lot of hills to run up which I did why is it that the hills didn't come on the walking part.
Total miles today: 6.88 miles in 1:30:05
Total miles for the month: 31.94
Total miles for the year: 51.12
