I ran what I call the tonaquint loop. I headed up the virgin river trail to the dixie ctr, west on hilton, up tonaquint, and back over to the bloomington ranches. I usually run it in the other direction so I can get the big hill out of the way early and the rest of the run is an easy downhill. I realized that after my first mile I needed the restroom, so I went the shorter distance to the park which is running the loop in the opposite direction.
My right shin started giving me troubles during the 2nd mile and I had to walk twice to relieve the pain. I hurried the 3rd mile in pain because I needed that restroom in a bad way!!!! When I was back on the run the pain in my leg was gone but I took it easy for the next 2 miles since I wasn't sure if the shin was going to continue to act up.
The last 2 miles was an almost all out sprint home. I ran faster the last mile and I had to climb uphill to the ranches... :) Cathy called me to chew me out for ignoring her. She appearently gave me a "Hey Baby" when she pasted me in her car. Well... I had to let her know that the guy she cat-called was not me. heehee!!! I was on a different road.
1 Mile Splits: 8:26, 9:33, 8:34, restroom break, 8:28 (uphill), 8:22 (uphill), 7:08, & 7:05.
I did P90X this morning; chest & back, and ab ripper. I hope to swim tonight. |
