LM warmup (10 reps), 9.09 miles in 1:14:16, 8:10/mi, HR 154, & stretching. Cool and rainy (52F). Hoped to feel up to a long run today but after missing 3 days of runs and the other events of this week, the body just wasn't up to it, so I took what I could get. The short version is that while I was in VA for work, my wife Dianna was in a head-on collision that totaled both our truck and horse trailer as well as the other SUV involved. Fortunately, both humans and all 3 horse seem to have been able to walk away with minor bumps and bruises (although the jury is still out on Dianna's neck....hoping that its just a strain and can be rehabbed from completely). The cops, fire dept, ambulance crew & wrecker all count believe everyone was still alive much less without obvious serious injury. We're both still counting all of the lucky stars involved. On the insignificant side of the event, now we're trying to sort thru insurance, medical, property, liability, lack of transportation, and all of the other gazillion things that need tended too following something of this magnitude. Runs didn't really fit into the schedule and yesterday when we were both finally able to take a breath, I chose a nap over a run because I was exhausted. So today's run felt like I hadn't run in months but I'm hopeful that it woke the body up and tomorrow will be better. |
