A drudging 4 miler [July 22 2010]

The achilles tendon was a little sore. So I thought I would cut a mile short from the scheduled 4 miler.
The usual gear. I am liking the topless run, I must admit. I have to work a couple of Fridays here at Dover. So I can make the Thursday runs.
At the bend where I would have turned for the 3 miler, I decide...well...if this is all about discipline, let me stick to the 4 mile run. So I go ahead to run around Leipsic. Good decision!
I had decided not the strain the tendon too much. So I had taken off really slow. Surprisingly I got to a pace of 9m/hr! Not bad at all! During the run I was contemplating if I should revise my 4hr target time to 4:15. But now am feeling better about the 4:00. Lets see.
It was a hot day again. And I sweat a lot too. Good thing I gulped down the 32oz bottle of water just before getting off work.
That reminds me...got to get the Gatorade mix asap.
The fuckin LYR app did not work today! Was so bummed out. I am sure I did a negative split. Well...
4 miles in 36min! Yay! Amazing result. I don't know how I got to that number.

Meals: Cereal + soy milk for breakfast, Jake's hamburger + iced tea for lunch, Heat-n-eat Daal makhani + 3 rotis + pizza slice for (heavy) dinner.
Tomorrow's a rest day. Will be icing my feet after I get home.
