For those of you not in South Texas - we've had crazy intense hail and thunder storms. People have had their cars ruined from it, and my car almost got stuck in a flood during one of them! So whenever we have these warnings, my usual action is to rush home, hide my car in the garage, curl up on the couch, and relax without guilt because I blame the storm on my lack of exercising for the day. Well that wouldn't fly today. Despite Kieley and Caitlin's insistent warnings to not run during a tornado warning (or was it a watch? Ni modo), I did it anyways. Even brought my phone so I could track my speed and listen to my new jams. My agreement was to run very close to home so in case it rains or whatever, I can quickly get home and not end up in Kansas. Therefore, this run was defined by running in fast circles around my neighborhood until I got in 3.1 miles. And it was my best time yet! What did I learn? If you want to run faster, put your life in danger. Also, it's best to ignore the looks you get from strangers who think you are crazy and just keep going.
Day.4.total.5k.time: 33:51 with a 10:55 average and a couple of unplanned walks.
