Five Miles. That is exactly how long I commute everyday for work. 5 miles. That is 26, 400 feet. Or approximately 13,200 steps for a short guy like me. Tomorrow I plan to run jog 5 miles. I will be doing my regular 3 mile and 2 mile routes back to back to complete a 5 mile easy run to conclude my 4th week of training. I had a good 4 mile run yesterday and did it in a 12:07 pace. The goal is a sub 12 minute pace. Tomorrow my goal is of course one hour.
In preparation and in response to some physical issues I have purchases two new shirts. The first is an under armor “like” shirt. The second is a loose fitting wicking running shirt. Next I will upgrade my running shorts.
I wasnt in the mood to carb up with a bunch of noodles. So I had a carb heavy breakfast cereal with 1/2 cup of blueberry’s (for flavor) and a banana. I fear I will need the potassium. I will have a zero calorie sports drink after the first 3 miles. Melissa prefers pasta on the night before a big run. She has a 12 miler that I have nicknamed Tour De Kettering. She will be out for about 96 minutes tomorrow and will be carrying 16 ounces of the same zero calorie sports drink. She also has stepped up her running gear with new Saucony shoes and a new top that should help running in the heat.
Will work on an update following the run tomorrow a.m.
