My Saturday morning long run was a SUCCESS! 15/71

I got up at 7:40am on Saturday and hit the Mount Vernon Trail. I opted to drive to the trail (although it is about a 2 mile run away) so I could stay as tree covered and shady as possible. 

Most of my training runs this go-round have been run for 2-3 songs then walk a song. I was proud that minus 1 extra walk break around during mile 4 (an bunch if uphills) I stuck to run 3 songs, walk 1 song. I actually didn’t walk during my last mile because I felt great. 

I had hoped to do the run in 2 hours and look at that 2:00:18. I even managed an elusive NEGATIVE SPLIT, by just 30 seconds or so, but STILL. 

The weather really cooperated. It was hot at first, just I acclimated well to the heat, plus I was properly hydrated/ brought proper hydration and gels. About halfway into my run it got pretty cloudy and even drizzled slight at points which was welcomed! 

Week 4 wrapped up well – ¼ there! 

I got the spend the rest of my Saturday drinking beer at the pool from like 1:30pm-7:30pm with T and two friends. Yesterday however was TOO DAMN HOT for anything, including the pool. We went to the mall, basically to just walk around.
