I was sad I had to miss all the fun races this morning, but my 9 year old had a football game at 8:00am and I just felt like I should be there. It was their first real game, and it was pretty exciting, they won on a last second touchdown pass. How many Gremlin (8 and 9 year olds) games end on a TD pass? They usually can't complete any passes, so that was especially exciting for all of us.
After, I was pretty pumped up, so I got on the treadmill right away and ran for an hour at a pretty easy pace, throwing in some harder intervals along the way. That got me 6.5 miles. I then rested for a few minutes, then ran again, this time faster, and got in another 4 miles. I felt good about the running, but the miles probably aren't enough for a "long run" for a marathon coming up in 6 weeks. Oh well, we do what we can, right? Congratulations to all who had great races today. This blog has helped everyone get faster and faster. |
