Notes
---A guy in a passenger seat yelled,"4-minute mile!" and my quick response was, "Fuck off you fat fuck!" That's a lot of F's. Although he had a clever insult, I think down the road he'll realize I won the war. I tried to catch him, but I'm not in "run-a-joker-down" shape yet. First three miles (really more like 3.7, when the incident began) were at 7:44 pace, last 3.04 were at 7:25 pace (thanks to the FFF).---
Thought about not running again, but I overcame my pussiness. I drove out to my old place in Fashion Valley, where I lived before I moved in with Rachel in Pacific Beach. Before I left, I did a quick stretch while watching Dathan Ritzenhein’s WOW (http://www.flotrack.org/videos/speaker/85-dathan-ritzenhein/5468-part-4-the-workout) from Nov. 1, 2007. I had seen it before, but it definitely got me pumped up for my run. Still, on the way over my legs were sore. Not a good start since I was just in my car.
I did another quick stretch in front of my old place and slowly started out on the loop. I hit three lights, which ultimately slowed me and my HR down, but I did feel better as the run went on. The above situation happened when I was running across Qualcomm Way after waiting for the light. I ran by them after they were waiting to turn right on Camino North and, once they passed me, the passenger guy yelled that. I was pissed, but later decided at least he knew a 4-minute mile was impressive. I picked it up from there (about 3.7 miles) to try and catch them, but definitely not all out. I slowed down a little bit more, but still finished the last 1.3 miles at probably 7:10-7:11 pace. I think I cut it short at the very end on the quick turnaround, because last time with the Garmin was at 5.00 even like the others that I had previously measured.
After Camino South-North, I continued on and ran around the ~1.04-mile River Block in 7:44.59 (7:27 pace). Despite picking it up the last 2.34 miles or so tonight, I still felt good. In fact, each mile was progressively better.
Another good run, given my shape.
