2/27/09 - 5 miles

I left work around noon today and headed to our spring training game. I ate some lunch and watched the game for 5 innings. I stopped by REI to pick up some shot bloks and some GU for my long run tomorrow and then I headed home. I got outside for my run since I was home early. However, the temperature (high 80's) was really too hot for running if you can believe that. I struggled for most of this run - partly from the heat and partly from the chesseburger and fries from lunch. After a couple miles I was pretty sure I was going to be throwing up on the side of the road. Fortunately that didn't happen and I was able to get through the run okay. I ran the 5 miles in 39:34 which is a 7:55 pace and my average heartrate was 161 bpm.
