Chad's Runs

What crappy week for running last week. Its supposed to be a taper, not an abrupt stop. So since it has been a week, since my last run, this one was slow and stiff.

Slept in and ran. Its a lot easier to find time for 3 miles than it is for 10.  I wan 'em pretty quick.  2 was 7:34 and 3 was 7:20.  It was just enough to get the blood pumping and the legs recovered from a week off and a slow sluggish run.  I'll run a few on Thursday then Saturday is the big one.

4 naked.

I'm an idiot. I've been training for June 2nd. The marathon is actually June 9th. Wow. I went down to Provo to pick up my race packet but there was nobody there. I checked my email (thank goodness for smart phones) to make sure I was in the right place. Oh no, wrong date. Wow, I am an idiot.  So I decided to run a half instead.  I'm glad the marathon was not on this day because I was miserable during the run.  I  was dead after 5.  The heat doesn't bother me much so I don't think it was that.  We've had a bug going around our house so my guess is that I was fighting it off and the only symptom was fatigue.  I finished up the 13 with some walking mixed it and was dead tired the rest of the day.  I went to bed early and felt better in the morning.  Went to 9am church and was home again by 10am.  I went back to bed and slept another 3 hours.  So I'm a blessed idiot, fortunate that the race is actually on the 9th.
