Tonight was a perfect evening for a run. It was cool, but not cold, not too humid, a decent breeze to keep me for getting too sweaty, and off in the distance, a thunderstorm was providing fireworks. I checked before I left and it looked like the storm was north of us and moving to the east. So, I didn't have to worry about getting rained on.
I put on some running shorts and a sleeveless running top AND for the first time, a reflective vest. I felt pretty silly in the vest, but it probably isn't a bad idea to use at night.
I decided to start with the intervals from my weightlifting program. So, I jogged for five minutes then started intervals of 1 minute hard running and 2 minutes jogging. I did that for 4 hard intervals then jogged until minute 20, when my knee started feeling funny. I felt it behind the knee, so I walked for a minute and then jogged home for 3.5 more minutes.
I averaged out at something like 10.7 minutes per mile for a total of 2.2 miles. Not horrible, I guess.
