Best Of

I had a great run this morning. I had originally planned to do my long run of 14 miles today, but, when Mr. B (my sweet 4 year old) climbed in next to me just before 6, I changed my mind. It's not often that I get snuggles with him (he's now Daddy's boy) and I chose to savor that moment... opting to do 4 today and 14 on Sunday.

4 miles to do and I chose to throw some fartleks/intervals in there.

Oh, that felt good!

I averaged anywhere from 9:30-9:40 while running easy and kicked it up from there.

Mile 1: 9:18

Best of?? 7:34

Mile 2: 9:17

Best of?? 6:39

Mile 3: 9:07

Best of?? 5:57

Mile 4: 8:45

Best of?? 5:15!

5 stinkin' 15!

That was fun!

And don't they say intervals help up the calorie burn?? That would be nice. Wishing it would burn off the chocolates and tortilla chips I chose to eat last night...
