On an incredibly positive note: Today, after a week of waiting, my wife finally had the last grade of her MS Counseling Psychology degree posted. She was really worried about this last grade since it was in Bio Psych and she wasn't sure if she'd do well or not. She ended up getting an A and completing her 60 hour program with a 4.0 Overall GPA!! That chick is freakin smart!! I'm just glad my kids got her genes!
On a positive note, although no where near as positive as the first, I got my run in! After this weekend, that was an accomplishment. Wasn't super fast, but I did it. I tried to take it slow and keep it about 8:20 or so, but not until towards the end of this short run did I slow down enough.
Splits: 8:08, 8:01, 8:12, 8:37, 8:47 (.18)
I felt very relaxed for the first three miles - pretty much converstational pace, but then I started to become fatigued that last mile. Legs felt tired and run down. I've been really lightheaded the last day or so too, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I came back from the run and walked on the TM for about 6 mins and was a little lightheaded then too, so I need to watch it for a few days, I guess. Who knows what's up. Late add - just got back from the Pittsburgh Steak Company's AYCE prime rib night to celebrate! They've raised their prices by a buck since the last time ( to $18.95) but it's still a great deal! It comes with homemade bread, salad (stuffed with toppings - not just some lame leafy salad), a baked potato or their awesome cheddar mashed potatoes, and the prime rib. First serving is normal size (1 1/2" thick), then each one after that is an "English cut" which is thinner (3/4 - 1" thick), but the same diameter. Add on a Coke and a ton of raw horseradish and it's a meal! Typically, I'll put down three servings of prime rib, but tonight I stuck to two. I was trying to be good. We'll see how I do on my run tomorrow after tonight's dinner. LOL
