Week 4! I ran every day, extending my running streak to 28 days. I don't know how long I will keep this up, but it's fun for now. I covered 53.3 miles in 6:15:33 (7:03/mile average). I got lost again on my long run. I intended to run to the top of a local mountain but missed several possible turns and ended up giving up and doing an out and back. I ended up with 15.4 miles so I can't complain.
I also threw in a steady run on Thursday which was intended to be about 8 miles in around 52 minutes but I ended up running quite a bit too fast for the first 6.5 miles and stopped and jogged the remainder. I was still happy with the effort.
I also registered for a one-mile road race this coming Sunday morning. I discussed that briefly here. It's pretty exciting, but I'll probably keep my weekly mileage about the same as this past week while keeping the race in mind.
Interactions with the locals were a bit more positive this week. There were a number of honks (which I interpreted as friendly) and one gentleman (probably under the influence) hanging out the passenger-side window of a truck attempted to sing me an excerpt from Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills".
