| 4 on the treadmill at lunch. I was shocked that I gained about 4 pounds over the weekend...how could that be! I'm on the verge of entering the Clydesdale division at SGM!!!! Arggg. I'll get more miles in this week...I can't forget to get in 9 miles tomorrow in honor of Kathie's 9/9/9, 4+5 b-day!

| I had every intention of running 9 miles on 9/9/09, but it didn't work out. I did manage 4.5 miles of hills (4+5 adds up to 9..I guess that's a stretch). 90F, 5MPH S wind, 44% humidity...ok, summer is over..enough already.

| Ran 6 at lunch..solo. 90F, 44% humidity, no wind (was running from one shade spot to the next). My Garmin didn't want to turn on...so I'm guessing I did about 7:30 AP. Was going to run another 4 after work, but only got in 2 (due to some gastro-distress probably brought on by the 2 cans of Coke I drank this afternoon)

Got up at 3:30AM and headed to Colleyville (a 50 mile drive) to run with a group from one of the local running stores. It was lightly raining when I left the house (I was only slightly tempted to turn around and climb back in bed)
I met up with Jon who is running Twin Cities on 10/4. We ran the first 16 miles together at about 8:20/mi, then he said his stomach was bothering him (he wasn't used to the Accelerade that they put out for the runners). So, I left him, and picked up the pace. Ran the last 4 miles at ~7:30.
I'm liking the Honey Stinger gels (tastes just like honey..I'm thinking they are honey). I took one at 5, 11, and 15. Had lots of energy in the tank at the finish.
I think I'm officially starting my taper for St George. I'll run 15 next weekend, then probably 10 for my long run the following weekend.
I weighed myself after I got home from today's run..191. Not too bad, considering I was 200 on Monday (I think I retained a lot of water over the long weekend...can sea water do that to you? Or was it the frozen daquiri's? Dunno)
70F, light rain, light wind...felt great!
Taper time begins!!!!!
MarkO - I ordered a new Garmin 305 yesterday. I'll definitely have it at SGM, so we can hit all our splits. Now it's time to start studying the spreadsheet. |
