Fast times at Northern Natural.

I decided to run again today (fourth day in a row), even after telling Phillip upon leaving the house this morning that I was taking the day off. HA! Yeah, right. Anyway, it was special being the fourth day because I haven't run more than 2 days in a row since I was hurt.

And freaking crap! Seriously, this is getting out of hand. I'm NOT running outside anymore. My theory is this: every time I get out on the road, track, sidewalk, street, etc. my body must think I'm running a race. I decided to try running outside today because, at the time, it was only 72 degrees and cloudy. It's humid, but it's alright. Not bad out.

Mile 1 - 7:37
Mile 2 - 7:33
Mile 3 - 7:21
Mile 4 - 7:02
Mile 5 - 7:11
Mile 0.11 - 0:44 (6:40)

Total outside -- 5.11 miles, 37:28, 7:20 average pace

After 5 miles, I gave up and went inside to run on the treadmill.

Total inside -- 3.14 miles, 25:00, 7:53 pace

I really need someone to run with if I'm going to run outside.
