8:36 average pace. Got home at midnight, crashed by 1am, got up at 6, got dressed, ran what little mileage I could squeeze in, came home, showered, drove to Derby, picked up the ambulance, drove to the zoo in wichita for a four hour mandatory meeting, finished the meeting, put my unit in service, immediately picked up a call, and now I am boring you with the details of my busy day so far. Work until 1130 tonight, up at 430 am tomorrow to drive to Hutchinson for my clinical. Will have to run tomorrow evening. Busy busy week. Really wanted to get in more mileage this week in preparation for the marathon in 3 1/2 weeks, but it's not going to happen. Life happened instead. That 's okay still planning on one last 20-miler Sunday if I am not too sore from 4 flag football games Saturday. If I am then I will do the 20-miler Monday morning. Either way I am not going to skip this final 20-miler, I feel like I need it to complete my marathon training goal. Not like I am looking for a super fast marathon time--I'm just not trained for that, but I would like to do reasonably well and not completely crash in my first marathon. BQ should be very doable. Should be. Sometimes things go wrong, I am aware of that. |
