Easy four miles: 5/20/11

I did an easy 4 miles this morning.  I woke up with a mild headache and not really in the mood to run, but I convinced myself to do it anyway.  I had thought I might get in a set of intervals this morning, but decided since I wasn't really feeling 100% I would just take it easy and maintain a nice steady pace and keep my heart rate below 160.  I was generally able to do that.  My heart rate did pick up over the last quarter mile as I tried to keep up my pace up a fairly steep hill and then tried to finish out the run by accelerating to the 4 mile mark. 

I felt good better after my run than I did before.  It was nice to be out and I always enjoy my runs, I still have trouble with the motivation to get out of bed at 5:45, though. 

Today's stats:  I did 4.03 in 39:16 for an average pace of 9:45/mile.  Just a nice easy 4 miles.
