Hwy 205, 9:30 a.m., cloudy/light rain, 38. Where to start? Yesterday, we had a funeral and then had ~15 people over for dinner. Needless to say, I ate large amounts of lasagna, pasta, and meatballs. We were quite busy all day and it was go, go, go. I ate tons, stayed up late to watch the U of M Tigers (previous #1). While doing so, I drank a few beers, all of which left me quite sluggish this morning. Our son is sick, again. No church for us, as they really frown upon taking sick kids to the day care. Yea, they even sent letters to everyone, because it became such a problem. We erred on being safe.
I wasn't feeling up to the Tinman style "Big Workout" aka the Long Wave Run. You warm up a few miles and then alternate HM pace or close to it with easy pace inbetween. Miles 2-4 were easy (7:39) and then my harder miles were 6:45, 6:49, 6:43, 6:49, 6:44 (6:46 avg). My easy miles avg. 7:50. Again, no rest following the run, as the family loaded up and went to Target for some shopping. An afternoon nap might be in the works for me. 11 miles in 1:21:56 (7:27 pace). |
