55:51. Ran on the Yeatman trail. Did a lot of thinking about running goals - and training - both short term (1 year) and longer term (2 + years). This months Running Times has a great article by Max King (podcast of the article here) - and I spent a lot of time on this run thinking about what he said. Although, I do admit this was not my smartest hour, I really do have to pay more attention these days, there are gazillions of lizards out (which means there are a lot of snakes) and I really do need to pay attention!! It is hot here - I think we have been warmer than Phoenix (which is not common) - even though my Mom loves the heat, even she thought that the high of 98F yesterday made it difficult for her to do much walking outside. Today she left really early to get some investigating done while it is on the cooler side - I think she was going to the botanic gardens (it is actually a park). I think that next week is supposed to be a little cooler (highs of 90F ;-) ).
Have a wonderful weekend bloggers -- to all the blogging mothers out there: Happy Mother's Day! Just got the stats from my race ... I was 9/1905 women and 43/2838 overall. That said, I was second in my age group, where the first place finisher ran a 1:28:03 -- which is truly an incredible time and mine sort of pales in comparison. That said, I was 3rd woman over 40, so I am pretty pleased. There were, obviously, more women than men, which was pretty different from most races I have participated in. Ok ... enough play, I have to go back to work!
