Thumbs Up!

What a great run today!  It was an 8:45 pace tempo run.  My split times were 8:41, 8:41, 8:39, 8:15 (8:34 average).  And it just felt good.  :)  I got up early and beat the sun.  The only bad thing about that is I have to run just in the neighborhood because it's too dark to run safely on the bigger streets.  And I felt good enough to kick it up a little for the final mile.  I have to laugh at myself a lot because most of the time I run with my thumbs up.  I never knew this until last November when I had a VO2 max test and the guy that was testing me told me to give him a thumbs up if I was ok but then had to have me give him a different sign cause my thumbs were always up!  Here's me this morning just finishing 4 with my thumbs up.

Vaseline Is Good!

Summer running is terrible for chaffing so I got smart this morning and put on some Vaseline.  Well ... technically I put on the Comforts For Baby Petroleum Jelly cause I'm too cheap to buy the brand name stuff.  LOL!  But anyway, worked like a charm and no chaffing issues today so I need to remember to lube up before I go every day.

That's all folks!  Tomorrow is a 6 mile 85% effort tempo run.  See ya then!
