It's one of those days when I'm just glad to be done with my run. I'm still battling a cold that has taken up residence in my chest. I'm not sick enough to not run, but I'm sick enough to be very uncomfortable when I do. I was supposed to do a 13 mile long run today. (don't laugh all you marathoners, I'm working my way up.) But, I called it good at nine. My legs feel great, but I can't breathe. I'm supposed to do my first track workout in a very long time on Monday, and I'm a little anxious about it. I hope I can kick this cold soon.
I ran 4800 S. to the Jordan River Trail, where I ran over two dogs that were hogging the trail. I continued along the JRT to Winchester, and struggled up the hill to 1300 W. where I promptly twisted my ankle. I ran 1300 W to 5400S. I unintentionally played Chicken crossing at Redwood and 5400 S when a white car decided to speed through a right hand turn without looking. Then, my finishing sprint to my house was hampered by the thought ful people who refuse to shovel their sidewalks in the winter. My blazing kick turned into a tentative tiptoe through the ice and snow. Is it summer,yet? My finishing time was 58:30. Like I said, I'm glad to be done today!! |
