Pre-vacation post

I am leaving on vacation tomorrow, so this is just a brief update.   As a side note, I don't understand how I can manage to pack so much stuff for a four night trip.   Good grief.

Anyhow, on the training front, I did my first 5:30AM run today.  It also happened to be the first day of week 3.   The run went very well, if I do say so myself.   I actually found myself thinking that the workout was too easy, which is a nice change from gasping for air every time the computer says "Start running".   I feel like I could have run harder, but I'm trying for that balance between going all out and actually being able to finish the workout without hating life.   

The workout:  1.8 miles / 4.3 mph

While on vacation, I hope to get some runs in with my friend Nana.   It will be interesting to see how having someone else to run changes things.   Updates when I get back!
