Lake Nokomis Fun Run



True story - the week after my period, there's no limits on my energy.  In honor of that, I ran 7 miles this morning, around Lake Nokomis.  Before work.  Just for fun.  Sunrise over the lake was gorgeous.



I have a long term goal of knocking some serious time off my marathon finish.  Short term that means working to keep runs this distance faster.
  • Mile 1 - always painfully slow
  • Mile 2-  picking it up
  • Mile 3 - the pace is actually faster because of waiting for a light to cross Cedar Ave
  • Mile 4 - Boom.
  • Mile 5 - hello glycogen depletion.
  • Mile 6 - the running pace is actually a bit faster; there's a stop light in this mile too
  • Mile the last - it was actually 6.8 miles and I used the end as a cool down.
