2007-10-24

Day 252. I am running 4 miles minimum every day, EVERY day, for over a week now. Body seems to be able to handle it, though I am asleep by 8 or 9pm every night. I get up at 3 or 4am though and usually do not sleep more than 5 hours straight, 6 tops. Over 600 miles now since the streak began!
Today I ran in the dark again and had a stray dog chase me, briefly. I turned around and yelled "SIT" at him (her?) and he barked once and stopped coming at me. He was not there on the way back. Luckily it was raining today and I ran without my mp3 player, or I may not have heard him and had a problem with this dog. Karma? Could be; I am living right these days. I seldom drink at all, don't smoke (near 8 months cig free!) and am eating good food (not to mention the exercise!).
Unseasonably warm again today for late October, 66 degrees, 94% humidity. Time was slow, 37:42, but acceptable. HR was 148 after 2 miles. I like running in the rain, keeps you cool and makes you feel like a fuckin' bad ass!
