The schedule said 5 miles. So I 'buckled' up, sprayed some bug spray and took off... topless. This time I decide to take the route that I had taken way long ago when I almost lost my way back. Turned on the LogYourRun iPhone app. Now I am pretty impressed by this app. Doesn't need a lock on your location to start counting miles. All it needs is your height and there you go. Some kind of calculation based on the iPhone accelerometer and its as accurate as Google maps! Lets you measure your heart rate too, if the need be. Got to play with that some time soon. It helps measure your pace in real time too. What else does one need?
Felt pretty good. Did some ab strengthening before taking off too.
I tried not to focus too much on the road...rather on the beautiful scenery out there. Helped take my mind of unnecessary thoughts too. It was a HOT day. Sweat buckets.
This was an interval run. 1M run at an easy pace (though I must admit I tried to maintain a pace of 10m/hr) - 2 min walk. And that worked excellent.

The other one thing I did was I stopped 0.5 mile short and walked it out. Read some place that recovery is better when you cool down properly.
Meals: Cereal + soy milk for breakfast, 6" spicy italian sub + coke for lunch, beer + heat-n-eat Daal + paratha for dinner. And LOTS of water.
