This was the temperature today when I went for my 5am run! What?! It was so nice & I could have run forever. I did a 5 mile tempo run today. First mile slow, mile 2-4 at an 8:15 pace and the final mile slow. I average an 8:18, pretty good! Did I mention I love this weather? Funny how much the weather affects not just my running but my attitude towards my run. I wasn't the only one out enjoying the temperature this morning either, I saw a few rabbits that decided to pace me up a hill. They had a little bounce in their step as well.
Last night, I thought I might have to cut my run short this morning because I was going to run solo again once the sun came up and I had to head to Abilene with IVZ to connect her with two of her besties for a girl's weekend. Thankfully one of the group sent out a shout for a run this morning and we were able to connect to knock the run out early. Score!
With the van loaded down, I set out mid morning for the 2 1/2 hour drive to the Abilene Zoo to meet "the blondies" & their mom. It was half way for both of us and we thought it would be fun to check out the zoo. I wasn't expecting much so was pleasantly surprised with how fantastic it was. The giraffe area consisted of a large bridge that allowed you to feed these gorgeous animals and since IVZ's favorite animal is the giraffe, she was in heaven. AVZ was pretty enthralled with them as well & was pretty shocked when one licked his finger! I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area!
