Total Chaos long run...
So, got off the phone with my son last night at around midnight...He went to the clinic and found out about the pneumonia-walked to the pharmacy-walked back to his dorm only to find his roommate looking worse than ever. Took him to the clinic and they were sent to the ER (around 6pm their adventure started). Around midnight, their coach showed up and made Drew go home. Still waiting to see how Gabe made out. Drew has to wear a mask everywhere, and they just heard that most of their classes are cancelled due to the little epidemic hitting the school...UGH!
Barely got to the Hi Line in time to meet the Sunday crew. (had planned to go a bit early and get some easy miles in before...) First 2 miles were at 7:10 and I could realy feel the heaviness in my legs after yesterdays workout and 17 miles! Took opportunity to fall off with Ashley (trng for Boston). So did next 3.25 @ 7:30 (thank goodness). We turned back with may and Jonathan as Amy looked like death. Apparently she had been sick all last week and thought she was better. So next 2 @ 7:26 then .5 @ 8:00 when Amy started feeling REALLY bad...
Since J stayed with Amy, i hopped off to catch up with speedy Ashley. All of a sudden she suggested that we do 2 miles at 7:00, which seemed like a really good idea at the time...Apparently she really likes when her legs burn...but she only did 12 yesterday and not a workout...kicked my BUTT!!!
Wandered back for a bit (2 miles) as her "cool down" and took a break to socialize as folks were leaving. Hopped back out to the trail to get in 7 more at a much more reasonable pace.
Somehow she convinced me that doing 18 next Sunday with her will be GREAT! I can only imagine what our paces are going to be...
NOW time for chocolate and a nap!! (already had banana, hummus, pita and milk...) |
