Saturday work day

I got up this morning around 7:45-ish, ate some breakfast, made a sweet running mix and went out running! I did 7 miles today! It really wasn't that bad actually.  I tried to keep a pretty steady pace the whole time and i figured, if I'm going to run 13.1 miles, i better keep a good strong pace that won't kill me halfway through! So i decided that 9:30 min/mile would be just dandy.  I kept that pace up the whole time, and it was actually pretty hard to not want to go faster.  I kept jumping up to like an 8 or below min/mile and would have to tell myself to slow down because, oh yeah, i still had 6 miles to go haha

My knee didn't really hurt to bad, and i never really got tired, which is pretty cool. I ran up by Brighton's old high school and back which turned out to be about 7 miles exactly.  I finished the run in...any guesses?

I'd have to say that is pretty good! Well it is pretty good for me, and i think that pace was perfect for the half marathon.  People have said that if you can make it through 8 miles that 13 will be a piece of cake!

I'm doing 8 miles on wednesday, so we will see if that is true!  The only problem i ran into that kind sucked was the fact that I'm a white boy and the sun is my worst enemy! I have a pretty funny tan line and my forehead is red as an apple.  Oh well, hopefully it will turn tan!  Gotta get ready for the beach in June!

We are actually about to head out to go get something to eat so I'm gonna end it here, but the rest of the day we basically worked in the yard! I guess i better get used to it for when we get into the new house, because it is OUR house and now one else is going to help us take care of it except us!  It was good practice.
