Test Drive

I got up this afternoon after only sleeping 6 hours.  I only feel like I've rested when I've slept at least 8-10  hours.  That may seem like a lot to you but I know that's what I need.  Even though I was exhausted from two nights of work, I was really excited about my next run.  My new running partner was charged up and ready to go.  I finally got a chance to use my Garmin 405 for the first time!  It was about 90 degrees and very humid so the run itself was a bit rough.  It was hot and hilly and I could tell I was pushing myself to finish.  I ended up running 5 miles. 
Here's my stats:
Overall pace was 8:45 min/mile.
mile 1 8:46
mile 2 8:36
mile 3 8:38
mile 4 8:54
mile 5 8:49
It was wonderful. I feel like the possibilities are endless!  I can't wait for more!

Tonight my husband and I had a little date.  We decided on pizza at a place downtown.  We ordered a deluxe veggie pizza.  It was so yummy!




Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!
Love,
Leah B.

  5. I totally get the sleep thing--I sometimes think I need a good 9 hrs. to feel right. But sounds like the run rocked, so it was worth it, right?

  8. Good job getting out there in the heat. It sure has been awful lately!

    I am the same way about sleep. i NEED at least 8 hours to function. My husband makes fun of the fact that I go to bed so early, but it works for me :)
