Car Stuff, Sushi & 1/2 Marathon Training - Day 46

Wednesday I left work early to get my car inspected for the upcoming track day mentioned a couple days ago. This wasn't the typical state inspection, it was instead a safety inspection to make sure I can drive the car hard on the track... safely :-) I'm happy to say it passed! Excitement level rising!

Yesterday we missed our run. Got up too late and then we had dinner plans with friends... sushi! Hadn't had sushi in a while and we tried a new place, Hui Chuan Sushi on Camp Bowie... pretty good stuff, and it was good to get caught up. Good Times!

This morning I was determined to get my run in (Angela's planning hers for tonight). It's definitely getting cooler outside. I decided to run the 1.0mi course 3 times and take 2 "water breaks" (if 5-7 sec of walking while chugging a couple ounces of water can be called a water break :-/ ). I also tried out my new runners watch this morning. I tried to maintain a 10min/mi pace from the start, and that proved to be difficult. I paid for it the whole time... I hurt the whole time. May have to shoot for something a tad slower, but I've got time to manage that. I've got a way to monitor it now... toys! End result: 31min 57sec (10:39mi).

What kind of watch. I time with my phone, no seconds. I have been looking at some watches with a built in heart monitor.
