Good Run. Bad Run.
Good Run.
Saturday, June 30th.
9.06 miles. 1:48:22.
11:58 pace.
Brilliant run with runners high and felt I could continue running on forever. Had I not stopped to stretch and take an extended water break at castaways, pace would've been significantly lower (that mile was 14:58, but all other miles were right at 12 or under).
Bad Run.
Thursday, July 5th.
10.00 miles. 2:11:05.
13:07 pace.
Awful run. Nearly threw up my Gatorade just before mile 5. Made for a hellish 5 miler back home. Let's not forget proper nutrition and fueling before a run...cause well, that's totally where I screwed up.
After the craptacular run last night, we indulged in some "grilling" (and by "grilling" I mean charring some burgers, but having hot dogs at perfection) and a smorgasbord of food back at our place. I ate so much I couldn't even move. And then...the icing on the cake last night that absolutely tickled me pink...this. And of course, the incoherent comments she left on the previous post...So Jess, thank you for perking me up after a crappy run. :) You gave me a case of the giggles.
Tomorrow morning we leave for Wisconsin. When I return, barring any unforeseeable issues, I will be a triathlete! Am I as trained as I should be for this event? Nah. But I seem to be slowly becoming the master of "winging it." I'll just take it easy and have fun. I'm not uber-competitive, and someone has to be last...so why not have it be me, right?! I think the number 3061 is bubbling with good vibes...don't you?
Hopefully I'll have a chance to pop back on here sometime between now and the big race. Until then...party on!
