Another 4 Miles Completed

Today's run went pretty good. It was really hot, especially in the sun, and humid. Definitely cannot wait until this summer heat finally breaks, but figure that if we can run in this we can run in pretty much anything. We started our run around 4:15 pm and it was 90 degrees with 58% humidity.

Today I decided to use splits while we run to see how fast we are running each mile instead of just our pace for the entire run. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I guess I just didn't think about it, but am glad I did. Here is a breakdown of our splits for today's 4 mile run:

Mile 1---11:05:72
Mile 2---10:45:03
Mile 3---11:40:58
Mile 4---11:24:16

Really glad I did this today because we did not feel as fast as we were the first mile, and thought we had slowed down between miles 1 and 2, but once again, we were way off. It is good to see this so we can better know how to pace ourselves for the marathon. Overall it was a good run in the hot summer sun!
Today's run summary:

Miles---4
Time---44:55
Cool Down---18:45
Total Time---63:00
Total Calories---874

Total Miles Run---85

Next run: Wednesday, August 11---6 miles!

Thanks for following our journey!
