My training is moving along at a steady 5 miles per hour. This morning I was talking to another runner and I mentioned that Saturday I ran my three mile and two mile route combined. For a minute I had to stop and gather my thoughts. Who was this person who has their own three and two miles routes? Who is this guy that has a 4 mile route?
This guy!

So Saturday I ran my 3 miler and followed it with my two miler. I wish I had thought more about that.  My three mile route has a really moderate incline at the .75 to 1.2 mile area. My two mile route has a steeper, meaner, longer uphill climb at the .8 to 1.2 mile stretch. So after running 3 miles and running past my house with plenty of water, a shower and soft bed, I had 2 more miles to go, including the hill from hell at the conclusion of the 4th mile. Planning is everything. The fifth mile seemed like a walk in the park.

I did it. All jogging, running, no walking and did it in one hour and change. 22 seconds of change.

This morning I had a quick and easy two mile run. Would have been easier and quicker if it wasn’t for Batman and Politics. The Batman movie I saw last night didn’t end until 12:15 this morning and I had to run at 5:55 to have time to get ready for work and a campaign meeting at 7:00 a.m. The run was actually a bit fun and was able to chat with a couple of older guys who were out walking at 6:15 this morning.

Wednesday is a new five miler. I will be planning my route and will post the links to my routine two and three mile routes.

About Batman: Last night was a Man Date. A night out with the guys. Was a great time and we saw Batman in the Director’s Hall theater. There were waitresses to take our food orders from our seats. Very cool! The move was great. Didn’t help my run at all but was a good night out.
