I don't know what the official name for this kind of run is, if one even exists. I think I'll call it "I was too tired to wake up earlier, so I decided to run fewer miles at a faster pace."
I wanted to keep my miles 1 and 3 under a 9 mm, and I wanted mile 2 to be under 8 mm. I was able to meet my goals, so I was happy. I believe the pace for those 3 miles overall was 8:17.
I ran after the 3 miles was over to make it 30 minutes, but I turned off my garmin and just went slowly to cool down. It was about 5 1/2 minutes, so I put it down for 1/2 a mile.
Had to do some chauffering around of my #1 buckaneer this morning, and by the time I got home, I'd lost most of my motivation to do much else. I did some arm weights and bicycle crunches. I'm considering a bike ride later on. I'm just trying to figure out where I'll go. It's more enjoyable when I've got a destination in mind.
First, I think I'll watch a movie with Buckaneer #2. I got Valentine's Day at redbox last night. Hope it's good. If not, it's only a dollar! I guess I'll get the popcorn out :-) |
