Early Morning Run

The dog had to go to the vet this morning for an 8 am blood draw (fasting glucose), so while the rest of the family took him, I ran 4 miles. I thought it would be "cool" (we are having a heat wave, with 90-degree temps the past 3 days), but it wasn't! I'm glad I got the run in, anyway, since by noon it would have been even hotter.

Porkchop ran with me most of the way - she is a beagle mix and one of my favorite running partners. (Well, I don't have any human ones....) We saw a turtle, and that was about it for wildlife.

Stats:

4.22 mi
50:14
11:53 pace
150 bpm

7:43 max pace
167 max bpm

992 calories

Mile 1: 11:18, 140 bpm
Mile 2: 11:38, 148 bpm
Mile 3: 12:07, 157 bpm
Mile 4: 12:39, 154 bpm
M 0.22: 11:14, 158 bpm

It should cool off today after some late T-storms and be sunny and in the 70s for the rest of the week!
