Good running…

This morning I had a great run. It wasn’t as cold as I thought. I had a sleeveless fleece vest between my technical long sleeve and my jacket. By 15 min of the run, it was too stuffy. I took it off and threw it behind an electric box.

For the past two weeks, I hadn’t woke up as early as today. I knew I could do it in January. But the habit of going to bed early and waking up early never set in. This Mon, I woke up early to long swim. Today, I woke up early to long run. Sat, I will wake up early to long bike.

I really enjoyed stepping out and seeing the stars in the sky. The sky was cleared and the sun was waking up as I ran along. I ran in a relax pace. HR avg 153. Even though I put the gel flask underneath my jacket, I couldn’t get them out of the flask. So I had to unscrew the cap (the sucky thing) and chuck the gel down my mouth. It was good. I am using the Clif’s Big Shot Mocha flavor. So after taking my gel, I looked like the girl in the pic :). Good thing I have a mouth nose protector on. Haha..I can imagine in the summertime when I have chocolate all over my face….:D

It wasn’t as cold as -4*F. When the sun was up, I was getting very hot.

Overall I ran about 11 miles in 1 hr 55 min. I am suppose to run 2 hr and 20 min. What can I do..next time wake up earlier and head out earlier. Lesson learnt.

Added: I decided to cut my run short b/c I have to rush back home and get ready to work.
