It is April, Right? -aka- HH5210 mod: 5-3

4.5 miles in 43:08 (9:35/mile)

Went out with Toby on Sunday after our crazy ass snow on Friday. No snow to run around after 2 days of melting, and he actually cooperated with me for a change. I started out a bit slower, and didn't push like I normally do coming back in on the last quarter mile. Run felt really good.

Splits:
mile1 - 9:48
mile2 - 10:00 (uphill)
.5 mile - 5:12 (uphill, down, up, down)
mile3 - 9:12 (downhill)
mile4 - 8:57

Congrats to Dani at Run, Dani, Run! and Run Runner at Run! Run! Adventures in Couch To 5K who both ran their first 5Ks this weekend!!!

I've got a rant about obsessing about calories and weight loss progress (or lack there of) in my head, but I think I'll save it for tomorrow. :)

So, we got 8 inches of snow on Friday, the 18th. It's freaking nuts!!! Here's Toby the Bernese Mountain Dog, loving life. :)

Good grief, it's snowing where you are and I'm looking at temps near 90 here for the next few days.

Hey, question for you - what made you decide on the HH5210 program? Did you consider the "becoming a one hour runner" program? I'm going back and forth in my game plan at this point.

Good job on the 4.5 miles!
