3/05/09 - 4 miles

I was kind of excited to see a short run on my schedule for tonight. Although I enjoy running and improving my fitness level, it takes a lot of time away from other things that I enjoy. The run called for 6x100 strides during the 4 miles. Usually I do my speedwork in the gym but the weather was too nice to not run outside. It was light enough that I was still able to complete the strides and it felt really good to run fast outside. I ran the 4 miles in 29:31 which is a 7:23 pace and my average heartrate was 167 bpm.
