Personal:
Married to Nikki Hudman for 26 years. 5 Kids ages 25-15. Avid fly fisher and skier.
Had a lot of different plans for today but I ended up going to the high school track and running my daughter and her friend through their workouts. Since the coach canceled track practice due to bad weather, I got to choose their workout. 4x400x400 at around 1:35 laps.
8.85/60 min. This ended up being a mini quality workout. After warming up for 45 minutes I decided to hit the next 15 minutes at or above MP. About 5 minutes into it I started to feel just the fatigue/pain that always hits, of course more so since the marathon was only a week ago and it just felt good to be "there" again. I don't know why but sometimes I just really enjoy it and today was one of those times. Pace just feels so much better. HR was still a little high.
I did this inside because I needed the option of bailing out. Well.........I needed the option of bailing out of the planned run. Maybe I'm pushing a bit too much but this sucked. Giving me second thoughts of what I have planned. Breathing was off and just couldn't get into pace. Felt like I was forcing the run, no flow.
11.6/1:21:51 First double digit run since Boston. I was feeling pretty decent and made myself commit to a longer looped run so I had to finish it. Stomach problems around mile 10 and I had to slow pace down in order to keep everything ok.
15.4 according to my phone gps run keeper it's usually off some but I don't know how much so I'm just going with it. This was tough this morning thankfully Jeff got me through it. Hit a few decent miles coming back down from Iron Rim. I ate like a horse after getting home. Now I'm just wanting some energy to get back in me.
