Today was our annual Slurpee Run. The kids run to 7 different 7-11's and drink a slurpee at each one. The run is usually 7 miles long. I wanted a couple of extra miles, so I ran about 3.5 before the run started. Bill changed the run to end at Liberty Park, and said it should only be about 5 miles to Liberty. It was 7.5. Then I had to run the two extra miles back up to Sunnyside Park. So, I got about 13 miles in today. I'm not sure what the over-all pace was, but I know for the Slurpee run part, I was 49:19 at around 7.5 miles. So, we were moving. It felt like intervals between 7-11's sometimes. Those boys get competitive. At least I opted out of drinking the slurpees, so I didn't have that sitting in my stomach. I was DONE by the time I got back to Sunnyside.
My achilles was sore, but warmed up. It didn't like the downhills. I will definitely have to take good care of it today. The left soleus did great though! I knew that one wasn't too serious. |
