5 miles done on day 5 of running streak

Today marks day 5 of my running streak.  I initially was only going to run a mile but a friend of mine texted me asked if I wanted to run this morning.  Of course I jumped at the opportunity to do so.  We are both the same and refuse to run in the dark by ourselves.  I for one think that I watch too many criminally based shows and that is why I can't do it.  I don't run with music so while running my mind has a tendency to play tricks on me.  I would be checking behind me for someone, thinking that I hear something when I don't or be suspicious of a random car that is just merely driving down the road.  So for my sanity and safety I choose not to run in the dark.

Anyway I am getting sidetracked as usually.  She asked if I wanted to run between 5 to 6 miles before church this morning.  So we agreed on a time to meet.  I, however, didn't get the proper amount of sleep so it was a little rough.  I had to walk 3 or 4 times and felt bad because my friend asked me to run.  Since I have started doing the running streak I haven't run that high amount (high to me right now anyway) back to back so I was quite pleased with my time.  It was only about 8 seconds difference per mile than my run yesterday and that really isn't bad at all. 

The only thing about this run that I have to share that was kinda frustrating was the wind.  It was blowing in gusts at times and was hard to run against.  We made it through though.  Now for tomorrow's run I am not sure if I will be moving it inside or running outside for just a mile because of the weather that we are suppose to get.  Mainly for the reason of not having any winter running gear and the wind chill is going to make the weather seem as though it is -9.  Not really much better than the actual high for tomorrow of 7.  7 degrees!!! That is absolutely crazy.  I will be running tomorrow one way or another and starting back on my weight lifting plan. 

So as I said in my previous post below is the screenshot of my run this morning.  Thanks for allowing me to share my running experiences through all of you.  I have another blog post coming either tonight or tomorrow that I hope that you will check out.  So until next time.
