AM - ran 4 miles on my own at 8:00 pace, including a nice easy warmup. Took a little while for the legs to get warmed up and loose, in spite of the warm temperatures (it was 80 degrees when I went out this morning at 4:50 AM). Came back and got Sparky, ran 3 miles with him at an average of 8:18/mile. With the increased heat, we definitely have to be more careful with him in making sure he does not overheat. Plan to run another couple of miles later in the evening. It is now too hot in the afternoon to run with the boys, so we are just having them run on the treadmill. So far they seem to be enjoying it. |
