Decided that due to a family event this evening that I would walk in the morning. Got to Antrim Park around 10:15 and it was already hot and humid. Completed the 3.0 miles in 49:09 with a pace of 16:23. Split times were: 17:12, 16:36 and 15:21.

Sunday August 5, 2007

It rained most of the morning with a few thundershowers in the late morning. Finally got to Antrim at 2:15 PM. Not many folks at the park… there were only 6 other cars in the parking lot. Got started on the 6.0 mile walk and there was only 2 other people on the trail. Humidity was up and only got worse as the sun began to come out. Finished the walk in 1:44:07. Split times were: 17:35, 16:45, 15:59, 16:39, 17:20 and 19:48. Made two mistakes today. One was that I only brought a 20 oz. bottle of water on the walk. Second, I forgot to bring my sports beans. I really began to feel it around the 4 mile mark. The last mile was a battle. Also need to look into another shirt to wear. My shirt was soaked and felt like it weighed around 5 lbs.
