Rainy Day / Sunny Evening Run

Location- Dow Park
Distance- 5 miles
Avg Pace- 10'11 per mile
Time- 51:06
Calories Burned- 671

Tonight's run started off cool, but by the time the first mile was over with I was soaked with sweat. On the second mile, I decided to go back the opposite way around the track. For some reason I found this very difficult to do. So the last few miles I ran my normal way so I wouldn't be thrown off. The towards the end of mile 4, I was ready to throw in the towel and go home, knowing that I would have to add an additional mile on my next run making it six miles. But as I finished and was talking to Betty (my running partner for about a year now) I got my second wind and decided to finish out that last mile. Tonights run will be considered a success! Now time to relax and eat! AND since I ran 5 miles, I can eat what I want tonight!
