What I thought was going to be a very painful and slow run turned into a very short and fun run. After running 15 miles yesterday, I thought I would be too sore and tired to do anything productive today. I started with a 1-mile walk and then ran a 1 mile 8:35 pace to see how I felt. That first mile was sore and stiff so I ventured another mile to see if conditions would change. It did!! I ran a pace of 8:15 and felt really good. The next mile was the same, an 8:13 pace. I finished off another 0.2 miles just to annoy my OCD tendencies. I then walked another mile for good measure.
We went out this evening for a 20 mile bike ride (1:20 at a 15 mph average). We hit the DQ for blizzards and then coninued on around st george traffic and trails. Cathy had one crash because she didn't get out of the clips before the light. She got a bloody knee. After we got home we took the kids out to watch the fireworks. AHHHH!!!! We then sat in the pool to cool off before bed. What a nice day! |
