30:08  - 8.6 min/mile


I've got a good explanation though.  last week it was 86 F.  Today it is 63 F.   it was soooo much easier to run today.   i barely broke a sweat.

I haven't been running much, but I've been trying to keep 3x at the gym a week.  I've been going at night though.  I haven't been able to wake up early enough.

150 total run miles since I started! Funny just how badly I fell off a cliff with surgery. Hit 100 way way back in May.

I don't like working out at night or in the morning. I still don't have a routine sorted out.

I like working out in the morning, but my sleeping has been off.

I tend to do my workouts in the morning but I'm am absolutely not a morning person and don't really like getting straight up and working out.  But then I don't really like doing it in the evening cause I like using that time to start winding down from the day.

I want to attempt doing it more around lunch time and see if that's better

routine is key.  whatever the time have a set time.   I do lunch hour and I like that.

Yeah when I'm consistent it's nice to have it done in the morning

Now start increasing distance instead of speed. Great job! 👊

not going to do that too soon.   i don't want to overdo it.   maybe in a few weeks i'll add more distance.  if you remember i said there is a 0.7 loop on my path.  currently I do 1 loop but 2 loops means 3.5 + 0.7 = 4.2 miles.    

..but i kind of have a limit on the other side.  if i can do 3.5 miles in 30 minutes than 4.2 miles should be not less than 36 minutes.   and 3 loops is 4.9 miles in not less than 42 minutes.    i do this on my lunch "hour" which i put in quote because i already take 90 minutes between workout, shower, and actually eating something.   i can't let this drift into my lunch "3 hours"...
