Coach had the wonderful idea today of deciding we would start doubles this week. I mean, it makes perfect sense: "Hey! It's 108 degrees today! Let's have all the kids go run at three in the afternoon!" Okay.. just kidding. It really wasn't even that bad. The heat didn't affect me as much as I thought it would. I really felt fine. I ran with Aubrey and Kaelie, and that was fun. They're doing awesome. I can really see them on varsity this year. Anywho, yes. We ran 3 miles in the afternoon, with lifting afterward, which was fine. Katie said she'd run with me this evening, since my family is in Cedar pretty much every night this week, Mia has started working, and Stoner is at yet another family reunion. I mean really. Who even likes their extended family that much? (Kidding again.. kind of.) Anyway. I highly doubted that I could convince Katie to run 5 miles with me, so I went out and ran 2 by myself, then when I got back to my house, Katie was driving up. So we ran 3 together, and she even kept a good pace for someone who has run exactly 4 times since 2012 started. It was still hot outside, but it was fine. I got a sideache, and then my whole stomach started hurting.. but it wasn't terrible. All in all, it was a fine day. |
