Won't be running until David gets home from work this evening, and the plan is just a super-easy 10. I have the "fight for air stair climb" race tomorrow morning. I am on a team with the Sedgwick county Paramedics and there are like 20 of us. It's chip timed and basicially you climb stairs, run a lap around the arena, climb to the next floor, run a lap, go back down, run a lap, and go to the bottom--repeat this circuit 3x for a total of 9 arena laps and 400+ stairs up. I will do my best for my team although I am not much of a sprinter! I figure I will take it easy on the stairs for a breather and then burn the laps as fast as I can. Total course distance is 1.98 miles. Should be interesting! I will call it my speedwork for the week! So far we are the biggest team and have raised the most money so it's kinda cool. It benefits the American Lung Association and having smoked the majority of my adult life I am cool with helping that organization out. Was tempted to weigh myself today out of curiousity and then decided NO it was pointless and right now I feel good and fit in my clothes so that stupid number does not matter and I do not need to know. Update: pm 10 at 8:24 pace, last mile at MP 7:24. Fierce headwind from the north.
