“I have heard a million people say that running is the most boring activity that they can possibly imagine. Since I am sure I am not any smarter or wittier than these people, I can only guess they never learned to listen as they run.  If they did, they would surely be entertained and informed by their own thoughts.”

—Amby Burfoot,  The Runners Guide to the Mesning of Life

So, this morning I entertained and informed myself for about 70 minutes while I ran and biked as the sun came up.   🙂    I rode my bike to the beach and on the beach for about 15 minutes before I begin running. The actual run consisted of 4.14 miles during which I ran 80 stride SS of 30 seconds about 20 times with a 1-minute walk in between each SS.  The pace of the SS began at about 9:00 and dropped to 7:00 average for most of the remaining segments.   That 4 miles took about 51 minutes.  I then rode my bike home which takes about 7 minutes.     I have become quite fond of morning workouts on the beach.

Stats are stable and positive.
