AM - woke up a bit early so that I could get in my entire run before I went to Webelos training. It was already 82 degrees at 4:45, so I made a snap decision to not do a tempo run this morning, and instead would just get in the whole run. The plan was to do 14 miles on my own, and then 2 miles with Sparky. Took some gel and gatorade before starting off, ran 6 miles, came back to the house to get another gel and some more gatorade. Ran another 8 miles, then stopped at the gas station to get a cold bottle of Gatorade, which I promptly guzzled most of as I walked home. Ran 2 miles with Sparky, untimed. Not sure of my pace either, but it felt pretty slow. My legs were pretty tired out. Average pace for my 14-mile run was 7:47/mile. I had one mile I am going to count as MP, not sure of the split because the Garmin was not charged, so I just used my regular watch and didn't try to guess splits for miles. After the run, I just had time to shower and grab a quick bite to eat before heading over to the church for my Webelos leader training. Very tired now, but my legs feel pretty good - no sore spots. We are thinking about heading up to Payson next weekend with Lybi's grandpa who has a cabin up there, which would allow our boys to spend some time with him, while allowing me to get in a bit of altitude training. |
