P90X Lean Day 39: Yoga X

I know you know this already, but screw yoga. I run instead.

So today was that 4-miler. I woke up feeling pretty good about it and decided just to run it, not worrying about time and pace. We got there and it was humid as hell, rained for a couple minutes and then we were off. Mile 1 was 10:30, mile 2 was 11:00, mile 3 was 12:00 and mile 4 was 11:00 (give or take a couple seconds on all of them, I don't know where my watch is at this point). Now, mile 3 sticks out like a sore thumb, right? That's because I walked for 2 minutes. Not consecutively, but I did walk. I was just tired. I knew that it would be better to suck it up and walk instead of trying to push myself too hard and die at the end. So I did.

It was worth it. My final time was 44:40, 11:10 mile. S-L-O-W, but I finished.

I need to start saying that I'll run for beer. This was yet another race that had beer at the end. It's 5:00 somewhere, right?
