Furthest run yet

Alright I know that 2.63 kilometers is not all that impressive but when you achieve your longest run on the Nike+ system Lance Armstrong comes on and tells you "Congratulations that was your longest workout yet." It's pretty cool and I knew that I wanted to hear it last night so I ran the extra 30 meters. Its a good motivational tool. Oh and it helps to run with a partner as E and I ran together as well. She finished her goal of two kilometers in fine shape as well.

Here is my run from last night:



It is much steadier until near the end when I drop off and speed back up to finish the run out. I am glad that it was more consistent albeit a little slower pace than usual.

It was also a normal route starting on Belden and the final stretch on Clark.

I changed up the playlist with slower music to slow the pace and be a little steadier. I also didn't want something too loud while running at night.
