4 more miles!

Tonight I ran in Casselberry. Back to a familiar route. I'm convinced 1 out of every 3 houses here has a dog. Every last one of them were talking to me lol. If they weren't confined by a fence, house or person I feel like they would have wanted to take a bite out of my leg regardless of their size lol. 

After having strong runs on Tuesday and Wednesday I was expecting a little quicker pace tonight, but that just wasn't where my body was at. I did what I could and ended up with a 9:11 average pace. Not bad at all.

Next week my Thursday runs level up from 4 miles to 5 miles so it'll be interesting to see how my body responds. 

I always look forward to my rest days and tomorrow is no exception. On Saturday I'll be tackling a 16 mile run (my longest run yet)!

I've come to realize it's not easy to predict how each run will go. My last long run was a perfect example. I felt I didn't check the boxes of hydration,  fuel or sleep, yet my run was strong...much stronger than I anticipated. Then there are days like today where you felt like you were on a good streak, then the results fall a bit short of expectation. Just gotta keep giving it what you got!

29 more runs to go!
