Ran with Tom after work today. Tom ran the Half Marathon on Saturday, his longest race ever in just over 2 hours. Tom lost about 65 pounds in one year, due mostly to picking up running. I remember his first 5K ever almost 2 years ago, and the determination on his face as he trudged the final half mile..I believe his half marathon pace was faster than his first 5K pace. Tom's recovery pace was about 10:00/mi today..a little slow for me, but if it's between running alone a little faster or running with someone, I'll choose running with a buddy anytime! After our jog, I did one quick solo mile in about 7:00, just to see how the equipment was feeling. All systems are go for a quick rampup for Boston! Pink eye and sore throat are now a memory. Temp: 80 Wind: S20+ HR: forgot my strap at home Bfast: Biscuit w/ egg, bacon, cheese. Green tea w/ honey. Cran-grape juice Snack: a small package of mini-Oreos (I was hungry) Lunch: Arby's chicken sandwhich, fries, unsweetened iced-tea Dinner: Homemade pizza, cheese and mushrooms. Sweet tea. Frosted cupcake (Ok..now that I read what I ate today, I think I eat more like a college kid than a middle-age distance runner...) |
