LM warmup (10 reps), 8.09 miles in 1:01:56, 7:39/mi, HR 159, 1 mile walk w/ dogs & stretching. Oh, how I needed this run. I'm tired, stressed, had a raging headache from when I woke up and really really really needed this run. After yesterday's debacle...our remaining auto, our "beater" car decided it was time for the clutch to go, so I wound up taking a cab to get a rental to fetch the wife from the dentist where she had just gotten an implant....painful work on top of last week's accident injuries....and to attempt to limp the car home. Made that by avoiding all steep hills where I might get stopped. After some pain meds for Dianna and a breather for me, we decided it made no sense to dump money into the Saab, so off we went to find a new car and a mere 7 hours later were signing the paperwork. So car payment stress, insurance claim stress, injured wife stress, plus normal everyday work and life stress == one giant stress-ball. So I ran and actually felt better, except for the emergency pit-stop 6.5 miles into the run. Hopefully tomorrow I can actually get a long run in so I'm not completely under-trained for the WR50 in July. |
