9 miles untimed

In my excitement to post on my own blog about my last run, I didn't post it here.

9 miles of pavement carving their way into my knees =P

Writeup here.

4.5miles untimed

I ran on the road after ages yesterday. I'm fasting these days, so I can't run during the day, but my response so far was to not run at all.

Yesterday my roommate said I was looking fat.

At 3am.

So I put on my shoes and hit the road, planning on just walking, but then I couldn't help myself and ran/walked the 4.5 miles. It wasn't quite an unbroken run, but that wasn't the point. I interspersed it with skipping about and just having a good time. The weather was great, and it all felt really nice.

The one black mark was the realization that about 18 months ago, I had almost exactly the same physical fitness as I do today. There were times in between when I was much fitter, but let exercise go for a few weeks and you lose it all very quickly.

Anyway, I guess the positive is that I haven't bloated as badly as I could have...

Toe not healing. I thikn I have a hair-line fracture or something. Crap. Too lazy to go to a doctor.

Distance: 3.38 km
Time: 18 mins 24 secs
Pace: 5 mins 27 secs / km (was at 5 mins a kilometer after the first 2 kms. Got screwed in the 3rd)
Temperature: 33 C
Humidity: 84%
Mileage on Nikes: 244.75
Mileage in 2008: 35.97 km

Really need to break 10 km soon. About the only time I have the energy to run these days is on days I skip work or on holidays. Something has to change.

Crap crap crap.
