AM - 12 Clyde's/grass. Tempo on Clyde's loop this morning. Wasn't really that great. I told the guys that I could feel the flatness from Saturday today and they agreed too. Started off 40 seconds slower than last week, so I told myself not to look at my watch again and to just run as best I could. Ended up with better miles on 2-5 (I guess, since the average came down), but was still only at 5:54 total after 5:39 (I think) last week. I was kind of bummed at myself though because I am sick of Clyde and Logan just killing me in workouts. Not that I am upset at them - they are both running strong and at is sweet - but it sucks to get killed every run together. So I was getting down on myself a bit. Then I thought back to how I was talking to the team about finding positives, so I tried to do that a bit. Overall, I am doing well on my running right now, mileage is way up, feeling mostly healthy, I am just going to commit to be a little braver on some of the workouts and not succumb to just falling back. Finished with a little on the grass and kids club. (Barefoot '14 36)(Lyte33 56.5) afternoon - 6 ND. 6 hot ones up in the North Desert. Took all the way up to one step below full-heat mode today. Ice in soaked hat (which conveniently got some air conditioning holes in it after Twix, our new puppy, decided to chew on it this morning), of course ice-packed water bottle, and the reason I was a step below all out was shirt just half soaked (from hose run-off from soaking my head - have to save 1 more thing at least for when it is over 110 (108 just isn't hot enough). Big thunderheads out on the Strip (above Trumbull) and up on Cedar Mountain, but nothing coming our way. Watching the weather made me think of a lot of stories from wildfire fighting - good times that I don't miss at all! (Free 938.7) |
