Streak Days 20 - 24

THREE weeks on running every WORK day! This is probably the most unbelievable piece of this streak.

Monday’s run included 16mph winds making the mile two negative split hard earned! (10:31 avg pace)

Tuesday’s morning run was postponed to the evening. It was a yes, no, yes, no morning as I ran the first half mile in the rain while the lightning continued to increase. The streak was on my mind ALL day and I could hardly wait to get home from work and run. It was hot so I had to alter my normal route in search of shade. Another successful workout including negative splits and sub 11 average pace. (10:57 avg pace)

Wednesday’s super, duper run was a complete surprise as mile three was a 10:08!! My legs were tired from running late on Tuesday so I almost opted for a treadmill run. This run proved showing up counts and you never know how a run will turn out. (10:30 avg pace)

Thursday morning was off to a very slow start. Thankfully everything came together in mile two and I was able t maintain the negative split and sub 11 avg pace streak. (10:44 avg pace)

Friday was another run in the rain. Interestingly enough it was raining in my neighborhood, but not outside the gate. I ran the three miles outside the gate then once I was back inside it was still raining. Good thing I didn’t cancel the run based on the rain outside my front door. The old Paula might have cancelled... (10:29 avg pace)
