| Saturday morning would have been a great time to run..as the temps were in the 70's compared to the 80s we've been experiencing lately. But, I decided to camp out in the tent with the boys on Friday night. Didn't sleep much, and lingered a little too long, and didn't run. Did yard work ALL DAY! Got caught up from 2 weeks away. Saturday night, at around 10PM, I decided to go for a run. It was still 85 degrees and muggy when I got to the HS track. The moon was full..and it was a nice, but a little lonely,run. I'm starting to build my mileage back up (my next scheduled race is El Scorcho - Quatro 50K, July 26th). I've decided that if I'm going to run long races, that I need to train for them. UVM, though I finished respectably, was tough on me--especially mentally. As silly as it sounds, I felt that I didn't deserve to be racing a marathon -- without putting in the training. I psyched myself out of the race, and was just happy to finish. I want to feel confident going into my races -- confident, not only to finish, but to finish strong -- like I've done many times before. I ran 6 miles. I ran the first 2 miles in under 15:00 -- I had no concept of speed in the dark. My HR was in the low 150s for the entire time. Walked a little after 2 and 4 miles, but still averaged a little over 8:00s overall. Night running wasn't too bad -- at least I didn't have to worry about sunburn! :)
