First did 6 miles with Vanessa in the stroller and forgot to stop my watch so I don't know what the time was. Talk about running slow but working hard--run into a headwind with a stroller and the sunshield up like a sail--it takes a tremendous amount of energy and some huffing and puffing to keep moving. I wasn't running very fast but I may as well have just run a race after that 6 miles was done. Stopped, stretched, stopped at the post office, then drove home and did 2.38 more recovery at 8:45 pace. Felt a little light-headed at the end and decided it was time for food and water so walked in the house, still feeling light-headed, and went straight for the bottle of gatorade and a big bowl of raisin bran. Man was I hungry. I finished the first bowl and then ate a second one. Still hungry, so had a piece of toast with peanut butter. Need to do strength drills but will do them later today.
Updated: 8pm finally did the strength drills. I know it's silly at this point and I almost skipped them altogether but I think they are part of my injury-free maintenance so I felt paranoid and finally did them with Queen playing and the kids dancing. We will rock you. I have been eating nonstop all day. You would think I was starving.
