Sasha sometimes shares some of his crazy running dreams, and last night I had a pretty weired one. I was back in Colorado going on a run with my old assistant high school coach, (we coached three years together and got along pretty good) Anyway it was in the middle of winter and we were driving out to this place to run down by the river, and for some strange reason the road just seemed to end and we ended up going into the river. Of course I was pretty scared but was able to kick open the door and swim to the bank. However, since it was winter time I was very cold. When we got out of the water, we both took off running as fast as we could to this nearby warehouse. For some strange reason I had a lighter in my pocket and we were able to start a fire and we just started throwing anything we could find into the fire. The next thing I remember in my dream, was the fact the entire building was now on fire and we were still inside. I wasn't even worried about getting out I was just trying to get warm. Anyway, I do remember once we got out all of these high school kids from our team came running, and told us we had taken the wrong turn and they were ready for us to finish the run with them. I just remember saying hey I need to call my dad first and tell him what just happened. I then asked for a cell phone and this was the funny thing, every high school kid had a cell phone on them, some even had two or three. Anyway, it was a pretty crazy dream. Ok, sorry about rambling now back to my real run today. Club run met and Mike's and drove out on Utah Hill. I haven't done too many long runs and the start of this past week I was still struggling some with sickness, so I figured if I could do at least 12 that would be great, then I will go for 2 more this evening to finish the week at 50. After Thursday's run I was really sore and tight. Yesterday's 8 miles was a struggle, but I spent quite a bit of time stretching last night and even used the stick and this morning I felt pretty good. I ran the first 9 miles in a 7:07 average, with a few miles down in the 6:40's. The last three miles I ran through Santa Clara and slowed down a bit. Overall, a good run, and glad I made the effort to get out and come over, even though I didn't run with anybody (you guys all animals and can run further than me! but someday soon I should be able to hang with the group) Cumulus-372 |
