AM: (8 miles, 1:14:05). Beautiful morning -- though it looks like rain by tonight and into Thursday (should be perfect for cross-country!). PM: (4.5 miles easy, 39:35). I am hoping to get enough work done that I can leave before it gets dark and run on the grass at Reid park in my spikeless xc shoes to see if I want to wear them on Thursday, if it is going to be slippery then I would be better off risking achilles tightness rather than turning an ankle with my more "supportive" trainers (and I think my Nike Frees - which I wear for my shorter runs - might be way too slippery in the rain/mud). I ended up not going to Reid park, and not trying out my cross-country spikes ... my foot hurt way too bad to wear them (I could not even wear them walking around in my office) -- instead I worked until it was dark and then ran around the mile grass strip in the middle of campus (pretty fun actually -- runs near the student center and dorms -- for me, it is nice to see so many young people milling about talking about school and life).
Happy Tuesday bloggers. |
