I had no idea I'd hit the four-mile goal until I plugged my route into Google maps later on. The run felt good on the way out, and slower on the way back. I'm learning not to worry about it so much because every day I am increasing the length of my runs by time and distance.
My pace today averaged out to 12:45 per mile. Well, every time I finish is a victory for me.
It showered while I was stretching before the run, so I went back inside to get a Ziplock bag for my phone. Another shower started as I began my run, but it was light and so I just tucked the rim of my hat close to my glasses and chugged on.
I don't know what I'd do if I got caught out in a heavy rain or thunderstorm. Take cover and call for Amy, I guess.
On my outbound run, I saw a sheriff's deputy standing guard as a red pickup was being towed away. Something happened there.
Going up the hill on Overlook Drive, I pass a homeowner and tell her, "Nice hill you have here."
My BMI is now down to 34.7. I am approaching one of my mileposts in weight loss. If I get the BMI down below 34.4, I will wait one more week and then I'll be discussing actual pounds.
I've decided to ignore the two days I missed earlier this week. It is more important for me to bike on Saturday because I need to keep up the strength in my knees.
Later
