In case anyone remembers the hundreds of things I was supposed to do this week, I missed both the elementary school and high school back-to-school nights last night because I stayed in Greeley longer than I had intended and was beat when I got home. I did nothing after I got home and went to bed early.
As a result of not doing some of the things last night that I normally do in the evening (mainly making lunches), I had to do those things this morning before my run. This caused me to skip the Shred and get out the door late, and so I was 5 minutes late meeting Lindsay. Because I was late, I ran the 1.1 miles to her house a little faster than I usually start out. Then even when we were running together, maybe because I had started faster and maybe because I was anxious about several things, we ran faster than we usually do together. It would be interesting to see what our splits were, but I don't have them. I paused my watch when I got to Lindsay's house, and then forgot to start it again. By the time I realized it, it was almost the end of the run, and so I just left it off. When I got home, I started it, hit the lap button, and stopped it, so that I would record the time I finished. I also had my start time, so I was able to figure out how long I was running and I used mapmyrun.com to get the distance. Based on the total time and the distance, we had an average pace of 8:56. I know my first mile was 9:25, and I was running 8:40 pace for the additional .1 mile to her house, so we must have kept up a pretty good clip together, faster than I usually make her run.
In other news, I talked to Michelle last night. She got to the hospital at about 2 pm on Tuesday and had the baby at about 5:30 pm, so her labor was pretty quick even though she was induced. Everything went well. She had a baby boy. He was 7 lbs. exactly and I think she said 19 inches, but maybe it was 19.5 or something. I can't remember. They're home and are doing well. Michelle says she's feel really good and went for a walk yesterday and felt good. |
