A hot evening in Florence, TX. Lynn and I drove over to Florence HS for my run and found the high school band on the football field practicing their marching maneuvers and a few students on the track. Lynn walked while I ran.
I ran 3 miles steady at a 7:45 pace and then as I started the last mile there were 3 high school boys running and they were about 20 meters behind me as I started my last mile. I ran 3 laps at a 7:20 pace and then the boys tried to catch me as I started my last 300 meters. As I approached the curve for the last 200 meters the boys made their move to catch me and so I picked it up and raced in the last 200 meters. They fell back and didn't make it past me, fun.
I got to sweating like a pig and felt like even though it was just 4 miles it was a good workout. |
