At 9:15, I ran 4.72 miles in 32:53, which is an average pace of 6:58, with an estimated burn of 538 cal. It was a later start than I would have preferred, but it was such a beautiful and cool day out in Boston, that it was still a good time for a run. It will probably be a good day for a run the rest of the day as well. Maybe go for seconds this evening.
During the run, the weather was so good, that I didn't pay attention to what was going on internally. I mostly admired the scenery and sensation of being outside. There were few moments of introspective clarity.
A friend recently pointed me towards Cool Running from which I found an article at Active.com about runners stride, that I can't find a link to at the moment. I did find this article on the Perfect Training Week. The article on stride got me thinking about my stride 4 or 5 times throughout my run, to which I made a special emphasis towards the end of the run to maintain good stride, as the article recommended.
Looking at Active.com got me measuring my bodies statistics and calculating outputs (like optimal heartbeats per minute) and inputs (such as recommended caloric intake). I've started tracking my caloric intake, so soon I'll have more numbers to start talking about. Now, to just enjoy the beautiful day that is still going on outside.
