Since Ever -Metal Rock Symphioic – Sweden
So after babysitting Oliver on Monday and then working yesterday at Target, I was a little tired yesterday and it was one of the two days I can run this week. After work I seriously thought about skipping the run, but on a quick shopping trip my wife asked if I was going to run. I said, “I’m thinking about it!” Hum, did she read my post or did she just assume that it was a day I could run?? Either way it kinda sealed the deal that I was going to run!!I decided that I would run 4 miles, but over a course without a hill! So once again I carved out a new four mile course over the familiar streets of Riverside and Delran.
I also decided that the soundtrack for the run would be some new progressive rock. First, I checked out the new releases at New Releases Now and then New Prog Releases. I selected  a Swedish Metal/Rock/Symphonic band called Since Ever and their just released album Isolation!
The Run
But back to the run– I wanted to have a strong steady run I didn’t want to push too hard, but at the same time I Â wanted the run to be a little faster than usual and actually that’s the way the run turned out! Over the first mile it seemed that I was moving a little faster than the clocked time of 10:55 and actually it looked like the GPS was off as the mile mark was well beyond were it normally is. The second mile seemed better (10:31) and the mile mark was about where it normally is. I slowed down a little over the third mile (10:45) and then I tried to and successfully did pick up the pace over the last mile, covering the fourth mile at an average pace of 10:31 /mile.
Overall, it was a good run and I felt like less of a plodder and more like a runner over the last mile or so!! Overall the pace was 10:41 /mile over the 4.01 mile course. I liked the course and it will be used again!!
