10 miles, Infinite Smiles
Happy Saturday! I woke up at 7am and knew that I had to set out on my run early to beat the heat, so I climbed out of bed. My plan was to hit 10 miles and I decided that I would do my typical 6 mile route plus a 4 mile route that I know. It overall went really well, I took it nice and easy, and stopped at my house mid routes to grab a sip of smartwater and a clif shot that I stuck in my mailbox. Here’s my splits!
Mile 1 8:39
Mile 2 8:59
Mile 3 9:07
Mile 4 9:13
Mile 5 9:19
Mile 6 9:08
Mile 7 8:59
Mile 8 8:59 (I’m strangely good at always getting a twin split…)
Mile 9 8:15
Mile 10 7:58 (felt good to type a 7!)
Total 1:28:59
My goal was to have around a 9-minute pace, and I felt good too, so that’s really all that mattered. It also brought my weekly mileage to 45! And only 5 miles of that is elliptical, all the rest is running, woohoo! Overall I feel pretty good, sore in a few spots, but nothing serious. My appetite is very powerful today too, and I’ve been treating it well! I don’t have any fun food pics for ya’ll today, but I’ve been having a fooderific weekend so far. My mom and I went to our city’s farmer’s market earlier today and bought a lot of delicious vegetables. Then, I got to go to my favorite health food store (kind of like a mini Whole Foods) and bought a bunch of Luna Bars and Kashi bars for .99 and some more root beer Zevia. I also bought some stuff for college at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I have to work from 4-10 tonight, I’m sure I’ll be dead by the time I get home, at least I know I’m working with a few of the fun people 
I hope you’re all having a great weekend so far!

You’re right about the granola bars – they are WAY better than anything in the store. I hope you give them a try. Congrats on the 7 minute mile!
