This morning I had 3 x 1600m intervals, with 600m runs in between. I set my interval plan in Endomondo and figured I would be good to go. Get out at 4:45, almost no clouds, beautiful sky, get GPS fast right? Yea no. I waited. Then I started jogging, resetting the app, my GPS, etc. After two miles of running while looking at my phone, I couldn't wait any longer.
Here is a photo from the start of the run:
and on the way back:
I got high fives from Erin and Kelsey today! That was pretty awesome!
Not so awesome - the gnats! Not horrendous, but they attacked me in some areas.
And one last pic for you:
Have a great day!
Great to see you this morning! The side high five def. got my run off to a good start!
ReplyDeleteThe high fives thing sounds awesome. Makes me wish I lived somewhere in the city where people did these types of things. I think I saw someone throw gang symbols at someone else on my last run, but it isn't really the same.
ReplyDelete4:45am...wowzers now that's some dedication
ReplyDeleteI like getting high 5's on my runs too!
Awesome run and great job with the intervals. I ran mine on the lake path too but probably didn't make it far enough north to run into you. Perfect weather this morning though!
ReplyDeleteNice work - rocking the run old school.
ReplyDeleteI got a side five during one of my runs last week and they definitely make it more fun, so it's awesome that you got two today.
You gotta wonder what gets into those GPS devices sometimes...it's like the satellites just don't feel like waking up that early!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks running with bugs...especially when you take your shirt off and end up looking like a windshield.
I only get high-fives from my wife during races...the old dudes in the park leave me hanging.
Same! Glad you entered the side five club and had a good run!
ReplyDeleteThey are rare! key is to find someone you know, then get the high five and make everyone else jealous!
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be a high/side 5 club online where you can get a patch for your running gear to say you are high five friendly!
ReplyDeletethanks! how far north do you go? I go somewhere between belmont and fullerton most days
ReplyDeleteyup! I always note my time and pace goals in case i can't do the GPS. As long as you're running!
ReplyDeletewoah! Two of the cheap runners on my site!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have bad mood swings. I've had days they work in 30 seconds in cloudy conditions.
Gnats are just run protein right?
Today I made it about half a mile north of North and then turned around. On longer runs, like Saturday, I hit the Montrose area before heading back south again. Maybe we'll cross paths one day!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that last pic! Ha!
ReplyDeleteNice am run! 1600s SCARE me. I am not sure why. I guess you just gotta build up to them. That should be a goal of mine. If I ever do speedwork again. lol
1600s I feel are easier than the smaller numbers. I don't have great burst speeds without losing my form a bit. But once we get to 6 minute mile pace, I feel safer! But 400-1200, ugh, kill me. Plus it is only 3 reps!
ReplyDeletetots!
ReplyDeleteThe photo made me laugh. I need to borrow it. I don't like 1600s at all.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is hilarious! 1600's scare me. Id much rather run 400's at a much faster pace than sustain for 4x the distance.... although once im running the 1600's, im all "I can do this forever..."
ReplyDeleteI have the same feeling after I stop, but its too late then lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to provide a laugh! and thanks for commenting!
