Day 28 - Floating on the Clouds

Great run today! I was up early, well early for a Sunday, I wanted to get my run in early as it was going to be a hot day. I started my run it was 18 degrees and it was 20 degrees by 9am when I finished. I was some glad to have started when I did. I was glad I got to go out first and when I got back Dan went for his bike ride. He says the heat doesn't bother him as he gets lots of cooling off from riding so fast! :)
So the weather details were:

SUN, May 23 08:00am

Temp 18

Wind E 7

Humidity 77

Running stats: 6 miles, 9.65km in 57:30, avg pace 5:57/km, burned 876 cal, avg heart rate 156 bpm,
Everything about the run was great, I felt good the whole run, usually it takes a couple of miles to get into it but today it was like I was floating on the clouds today. I sailed my way from one mile to the next, not to mention at the end of my run, I came across 3 different groups of  about 12 runners. Probably groups from the Running Room who were just starting their run for the day. I flew past them and it felt great. Gave me a little extra boost of energy to know other people were around. Looking forward to my race next weekend. Even though I'm only running the 5km, I think it will be alot of fun. I hope I can bring Sophie with me, I think she would enjoy all the action of the race weekend.
I read on Pete Egoscue's twitter page that if you only breath through your nose during a run or walk that you can rapidly increase your fitness. What do people think about this? I tried this for a bit on my run today but I found it hard to get the amount of oxygen I needed to run properly. I guess this type of exercise would be good for developing your lungs and to help you control your breathing. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
So every two weeks I give you an update on my physique.
