AM: (10.5 miles, 1:33:12) 32:28 wu/30:39cd + fartlek 10 x 1` w/2` recovery. Ran to Buffalo Park and did one 2 mile loop, then did my fartek 'workout'. Felt good to run fast, I really needed the extra minute recovery. I talked to Greg yesterday and told him that although I feel pretty good, I wasn't sure I wanted to do another slow steady state run this week - but last year I was able to do some 5 min pickups pretty well so maybe something a little shorter, but really fast. So, we decided that I would do a fartlek for one workout and then a progression run with the last 5` super fast for my second workout. I think that will be good for getting my legs turning over a little without overdoing it. PM: 4 miles super easy. It is feast or famine I suppose. Last week there was never a dull moment with the pitter-patter of little feet and sweet voices of the Lowery guys. This week it is me and Titus, and the dogs (Dean went to Tucson for the week). I don't have cell phone reception from the cabin so last night (about 10PM) I drove 2 miles out to the main road to call Dean and say good-night. Well, my battery died. CRUD. I finally flagged someone down and they gave me a jump, but my battery is just dead, my lights barely worked so I had to slowly drive home in the pitch darkness with very very very dim headlights. When I got home the car died. Dean is calling AAA for me this afternoon to have them come out and check it out, but they won't be able to call me or anything --- they will just show up (I hope they show up ;-) ). Life is not dull bloggers, and thank heaven for that! And, I am glad I finally got AAA (about 2 months ago!). It is too funny that this had to happen when I was up here in isolation all by myself!
