Morning run from ??? Today was going to be track workout day with the club. I wanted to get in a long run, and still wanted to do a track workout so. I got up at 4:30 and it was still 86 degrees out- sucks I was hoping for 70's. I gave myself an hour to go run and be at the track by 6 a.m. to meet the guys. I ran down into town and looped Foremaster hill and up to Pine View HIgh track right on time at 6 a.m. and 8.5 miles into my hour run so far. I got to the school and jogged around it to find a porta potty (very helpful at the time) - then jogged back to the track and did one more mile on it to warm up with Tony (the only one who showed up). Now Ten miles into the run and start the 800"s. No time goal not knowing what to expect after doing 10 miles. 1. 2:40- not too bad, not too good as far as time but feeling pretty good. 2. 2:37- A little faster but nothing to write home about. 3. 2:38- Now starting to feel like maybe I'm tierd and maybe I need to be done for the day. 4. 2:40- Wanted to finish hard and run the fastest one- but a head wind came up on both laps of this one and I run around a 2:36-37 effort but now I'm done for real just get me home. 400 recovery after each 800. Run home from high school 2 more miles to put me at 15. Goal for the morning was to finish off 20 miles after the track workout. But by the time I got up to the gas station one mile from home I just came home and decided to finish tonight with 5 more miles on the treadmill. Got on the scale and was 146 after drinking. So I'm sure I was down a pound or two lower than 146- my all time low. Very dehydrated. Kind of sick on the couch for a couple hours after. I know I'm a baby. 8 more miles this afternoon. No, not on the treadmill. It RAINED! The first time in like three months. So today at around 2 p.m. it was 80 degrees and cooler than 5 o'clock this morning. I pretty much dropped everything and went out. I was a little tierd but felt great. In the hour I was gone it went from 80 to 94 by the time I got home. |
