Four strong winds that blow lonely...

Hummed that a few times on the run! I was aiming for 8k, but my watch doesn't capture distance anymore (the chrono no longer works since I accidentally took it in the pool), so I all I knew was my speed (which was nothing to write home about) and heart rate. I did wear my data recorder, so knew when I got home I'd have the distance captured. Turns out it took me 51:03 to go 7.345km (4.563 miles), giving me a pace of 6:57/km. I try to run between 6:00 - 6:30. The route is a slight downhill the way out, and naturally, uphill the way back. To make matters interesting, the downhill portion comes with a built in tail wind. The uphill comes with cursing. It's a gusty day here in Ottawa. I think I was running in place a few times. I felt tired at the end, but really really good :D

To cool down, I popped a DVD I took out from the library called Qigong for Stress Relief. 30 minutes later, I was mellooooooow. Time to hit the showers. The cats love me. They love anything that stinks.
