CIM Training Week 3, Day 3: 5 miles

While it wasn't near as windy today as it was yesterday, the wind came from more directions and for a longer period during the run. Another tough one!



Guess which mile I ran into the headwind? I walked the last .26 mile.

Mile 1: 9:04
Mile 2: 9:37
Mile 3: 10:55
Mile 4: 9:41
Mile 5: 9:47

5 miles, 49:05, 9:48/mi, 568 calories burned

The past two days I've been really exhausted by the mid-afternoon. I'm thinking it's because I'm at the beginning of my weight loss cycle. We'll see how the rest of the week goes on that front.

CIM Training Week 3, Day 2: 3 Miles

Last night as I was watching TV, I noticed the wind outside. I didn't think too much about it at first, then it started growing, and growing, until finally I couldn't ignore it anymore. A quick check at the weather revealed that sure enough, we were going to get heavy winds today!

The weather said 25mph, but in reality it was more like 10mph. It wasn't gusts though, that was 10mph constant. I debated on it all day, almost ran on the treadmill, but ultimately ran outside. 3 miles, plus .26 miles back to work, which originally I was going to walk. Since it was with the wind, I did a slow jog.
