3 Days, 2 Runs, 1 Tired Guy

On Thursday,  the 23rd, I did an interval run at night, along the river on the Prairie Path. Having the only light I could see being the lighter colored rocks in the woods makes you move a little faster. Broken into 4 sprints, here are the times in order; #1 (1.5 miles )12:32, #2 (0.9 miles )7:29, #3 ( 0.9 miles) 7:04, #4 (1.5 )10:22   Here's my route. In total  4.8 miles, 37:29

 In the middle of one of my breaks, I decided to shoot a little video for my fantasy football video blog.


Then on Saturday, I went for a hot midday run from home  along Indian Trail Road, all the way to Eola.  Temps topped around 92 degrees between 3:30-4:30. It was hard  to not focus on how dry my mouth was getting. I would give myself a mouthful of water every 3-5 minutes, to make sure I didn't over heat. Didn't see any other runners out, so once again I am either the most extreme distance runner in the area or the dumbest. The out was around 2.9 miles which I did in 24:44 and my back time was 23:35. Nice negative split! Here's my route.
In total 5.8 miles, 48:20.
