I didn't want to get up early this morning so.. I didn't!! My running partner is camping so I went all alone. It was actually nice to have my thoughts to myself today. I started at 2:30 PM. My body was wondering what was going on when I started.
Started in Huntington Beach and ran into Newport Beach. It is spring break and Newport was the hot spot today. It was quite entertaining while I was running today.
It was nice to see how I would handle it a little warmer today since the LA marathon does not start until 7:20 AM at the end of May. BAD IDEA!!! They need to change it to 6 AM but WHATEVER!!!! I did pretty well, wore a hat and stopped about every 2 miles for water. My mouth would get a little dry waiting for the next water fountain.
I also decided to pick up the pace every 3rd mile. Don't know why it was just kind of a fun game to pass the time.
Splits 8:50, 8:52,8:14,8:54,8:35,8:02,8:51,8:58,7:52,8:38,8:59,8:03 I really thought my last mile would be the fastest but I was running close to the pier where all the action is and had to dart in and out of people and bikes.
