When I started my workout I thought I'd do 3.0 miles; so I did a 3.2 mile route Ryan made of part of the Pittsburgh Half-Marathon course. I walked .25 then stretched then I ran 2.0 miles non-stop; recording my 1.0 mile split time in stride (1.0 in 11:20 158 cals) and again the same at 2.0 21:10 314; I then kept running til I fully ran 2.0 - so at 2.25 23:27 355cals I stopped and jogged for another .5 so at 2.75 I started walking and walked til the end of the 3.2 mile course. I started a new course and walked .3 more to round it out to 3.5 miles, done in 39:49 552cals.
After 3.5 I felt really good. I discovered that running at 6.1mph felt like my pace, my stride - it felt perfect and effortless to run and like I was in college running again. So I did another 1.0 at 6.1mph in 9:53. Not to miss an opportunity to do a 5.0 mile work out I then walked another .5 miles - completing the last .5 in 7:15.
Most motivating songs during the workout: Will Smith "Switch", The Boondock Saints theme song - listened to both multiple times. The Boondock Saints song took me back to soccer practice and games and Will Smith took me to the gym in the off season.
