CIM Training Week 2, Day 4: 4 miles

Yesterday's intervals ended up shortening what was supposed to be a 5-mile run down to 4 miles. Today was scheduled to be 3 miles easy, but I ran 4 miles instead to make up the extra mile missed yesterday. As far as the image is concerned, I had been using a different mode in Sporttracks that would allow me to hide the cooldown walk at the end of my run, but in the process the mile splits weren't obvious. So I'm going back to the old style.





Splits
Mile 1: 9:40
Mile 2: 9:45
Mile 3: 10:41
Mile 4: 11:00

I sort of did a lame walk/run/jog the 3/4 of a mile after mile 4. Also for some reason, the heat really affected me more than it did yesterday. It was probably because of residual fatigue from the intervals. 4 miles, 620 calories burned after the walk.

• 00:42:55: Persids are a bust for me, too far to get away from lights & my son keeps thinking animals will get us. Heh.
  
• 00:57:36: @RobertCristie @plumaslaker There's a couple huge sunflower fields just south of Gridley, they were all facing east when I was out there
  
• 00:59:22: OK I'm off to bed persied-less. *snif* I haven't had a good viewing since 2003!

• 08:18:00: @blackfonzie The Perseids are REALLY obvious, especially if there's not much light pollution. In 2003 I was driving to a secluded place...
  
• 08:18:36: @blackfonzie and they were lighting up the sky, scarily so. They were every 2 minutes or so all over the sky.
  
• 08:21:25: @BobHarperAnthem I think everyone's upset about the Time cover Bob, did you see the Runner's World rebuttal?
  
• 08:21:39: Testing to see if Bob Harper's a human being.
  
• 08:24:01: @RunningHoosier I don't think I want to do those types of tests on him. No, just a simple @reply would be nice.
  
• 08:24:30: @RunningHoosier I poke Jillian Michaels on occasion, I think her assistant tweets once in the morning and that's about all
  
• 08:26:38: @blackfonzie Cool. I didn't see jack but like I said, light pollution. If I hadn't gone on vacation last week I would have taken today off.
  
• 08:26:52: @blackfonzie That would have made it possible to drive the hour or so to where there's minimal light
  
• 08:29:47: RT @JackFacts24: Professor Charles Xavier of the X-Men once tried to read Jack Bauer's mind. Now he's in a wheelchair. #24
  
• 08:32:16: @bicoastalite Huh. Even after 20 years, Dave Gahan's drug abuse rips up his vocal chords while on tour. *snicker*
  
• 08:33:51: It would have been nice if the European backpacking trip guy with the crazy girlfriend would have written a blog post instead of a TEXT vid.
  
• 08:35:42: @bicoastalite I dunno if that's really the reason, but he did have that problem back in the early 90s, I recall a tour cancelled
  
• 08:36:04: @Oblivion Mid-training blues have hit, eh? :)
  
• 08:39:40: @runninghoosier @BobHarperAnthem doesn't like me *sob* he didn't respond to my tweet. Now I have to go eat a large pizza.
  
• 08:41:53: @cyktrussell I've seen those before, they have some cool stuff.
  
• 08:48:12: OW. The drawer just ripped open my elbow's road rash.
  
• 08:50:56: @Oblivion #1 was a surprise to nobody. :)
  
• 08:51:17: @Oblivion I will say though that he got a little too happy with his Top 5, I think one of those was only a few months ago haha
  
• 08:52:16: Why is it, I can upload 500 pictures to Flickr, all linked from FB, yet nobody seems to notice until I upload *ONE* picture direct to FB?
  
• 08:52:43: Why, what is this link you are referring to, I do not understand, it is not on the book of face. I cannot click on it. Oh look, puppies!
  
• 08:56:05: @dslunceford It's a USB powered fork.
  
• 09:01:24: Breakfast: 1/2 Protein Plus bar
  
• 09:08:52: @Oblivion I didn't even read it, I saw clippy & immediately closed the browser
  
• 09:09:34: @evaporated You're right. Puppehs. :)
  
• 09:11:46: @PalmPreLawyer @vomitbrown @Yusekeg My #pre's been dropped to asphalt, dropped in the ER, dropped @ the gas station. It's fine.
  
• 09:32:29: @Oblivion I don't doubt it! Start making friends in marathon cities.
  
• 09:54:38: @blackfonzie Geez dude, I haven't even been using gmail that long. I have some from 2006 in Yahoo mail though.
  
• 09:56:57: @blackfonzie EXCUSE me. I have a message from 4-23-02
  
• 09:58:09: @blackfonzie A receipt for buying Babylon 5: Season 2 :) Previous to Yahoo I was using a private mail server that is no more
  
• 10:05:20: @runsolo my earliest is april 2002 on yahoo
  
• 10:06:27: EWW! Flippin' Vista user changed his computer look & feel to look like Windows. 95.
  
• 10:12:48: @winbear Maybe he's just grasping at the past. His computer is fine.
  
• 10:13:09: @winbear His wallpaper is orange. Like, pumpkin orange.
  
• 10:13:37: @blackfonzie Looking at my past email isn't as fun as looking at my old Usenet posts from '92
  
• 10:19:08: @blackfonzie I wish I had email from that long ago, but I had a crash or two that lost the old, old stuff. The oldest was on the Amiga
  
• 10:19:25: @blackfonzie I do have one or two old messages saved on my old college account hehehe
  
• 10:20:04: @bapper Dude, for CIM I'm going there from home. I'll have to be up at like 4:30 or 5
  
• 10:22:23: @taylormarshall I went out of cell/data range on vacation this weekend & put it into airplane mode. The battery lasted over 3 days.#pre
  
• 10:22:52: @bapper Yup, it cost $10 more. The buses leave from all the local hotels, so I'll just pick one to park in. Hopefully parking won't be bad.
  
• 10:46:39: I just LOVE when these "do it ASAP per the owner" messages come in just as I lace up my shoes.
  
• 11:46:09: I just love when someone puts someone on hold to answer the phone (unimportant), then tells the person who called to hold (unimportant)
  
• 11:47:28: I swear this isn't rocket science! What part of "create a new message" do you NOT understand!?!?!?!
  
• 11:49:25: "Look at your signature. Is there a disclaimer?" They either answer, "What's a signature?" or "What's a disclaimer?"
  
• 12:34:24: Finished checking/changing signature files, it only took two hours. The temp went from 75 to 87 in that time. So now I can run.

• 12:37:26: @ironbrandon Alternate: find out where he's running and run with him on the course :)
  
• 13:56:44: @alitherunner Stop that! Sherry don't like it.
  
• 13:57:34: @ironbrandon RE Karnazes, he invites anyone to run while he's training, I thought he said so in Ultramarathon Man. Somewhere. :)
