Day 5 of running is usually tough but it seemed unusually so today. Got a late start, 9:51 AM, and it got a little warm but I thought it would be better than it was. I am a bit optimistic, I guess. 8.20 miles in 1:12:06 for a pace of 8:48/mile which is much faster than I felt it went, that's for sure!
My ear buds for my iPod went bad (at least the left ear) about 10 days ago and I ran with one ear for a bit until I made it to buy some new ones. I learned about some that are called "Yurbuds" that are designed for sport use and I am a huge fan after only a couple of uses. I got the $30 pair which is the basic version but they have lived up to their claims. They are so comfortable that I barely even know they are in my ears and they have never fallen out of my ears. (They guarantee it!) Sound is great and it fits in such a way as you can still hear someone if needed for an emergency. very happy with my purchase!
Since we are on the music topic today, I will give you a song that has been inspiring to me and is on my playlist. This is the live acoustic version (it's easier to hear the words & it is a great alternate version too!) of No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen. The name says it all but the whole line is: "No retreat, baby, no surrender". Enjoy!
