1:11:39. Ran my usual Saturday route. I had a workout scheduled, one of two for the week, but decided against it after I was up for a while this morning. Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat. I actually think I am managing to fight off what ever the crud is, but I am a little weak and not 100%. I figure my body is so good to me, it lets me make it do things that really shouldn't be done to an almost 48 year old body, and push it far beyond what it likes, the least I can do is take care of it when it gets sick. Actually, what I really need to do is take a day off from work and rest, but since I can't do that, I need to back off the running. Besides, any workout less than 100% is not worth it ... either you end up with several less than 100% workouts (because you get worn down and take longer to get better) or you end up with days off, which set you back much more than missing a workout. That is my philosophy anyway. It is too bad too, this week is ultra hot (should be up in the 107-110F range for the next several days) so I got up over an hour earlier so I could get to the track while it was still "cool" -- it was a beautiful 77F when I left the house today. sigh. Anyway, onward and upward. I might run this afternoon, I might not, depends on how run down I am feeling by the end of the day. Mainly, I need to get my grant finished ... and get all this other stuff that is due done ... Have a great day bloggers!! |
