4 Miles?

Yesterday was a busy day at the clinic but i was determined to get my 4 mile run in. it was 7:30 before i finished work and of course it was dark. i decided to run on a private road behind the clinic. since i had not pre-measured the distance i was going to use my gps watch and see how it worked. i did get the gps to work with the watch and headed out for the run. i am not sure how it worked really. it said my max speed was 137.8 mph. i thought i ran for 37.8 minutes, but when i looked closer (after i quit running) it was 3.78 miles and 32 minutes and some change. it said my avg pace was 8.32minutes per mile, a little fast for me, but the place i was running was pretty flat, i still don't think i ran that fast. so i am not sure how far i really ran. after i ran i did measure the distance so i will know from now on.

i have 3 miles scheduled tonight, hopefully i can get off of work in time to run during daylight where i am pretty sure of the distance and see how the watch works there.

thought of the day: things change, accept it and move on. new doors are always opening, just be ready to recognize them and go through them. always be ready to turn one open door into a new opportunity.
