Catch me if you can

I warned Lisa that this would be a slow one for me and it was.  My legs are still tired and sore from the 14 miles down the canyon on Friday.  It was nice to visit with Lisa.

6.5 miles before work.  Old SJ 5k course.

I met the BBKs at 9800 and 2200 again.  We warmed up for 1/2 mile then started the 6 mile tempo run.  3 miles uphill and 3 miles downhill.  I tried to push hard, but my times weren't all that fast.  I think I averaged about an 8:00 mile.  I cooled down for another mile and then went to work and ran on the treadmill until I hit 10 miles for the day.  It was a miserably hot day at work.  Second day in a row without air conditioning.

4 miles at work at 9:00 AM.  HOT!

7 slow miles from work.  It was the 4th day of no air at work.  It was so draining.

20 very long miles.  I knew this was going to be tough and it was.  The air conditioning has been out all week at work.  Last night when I got home, my calves, ankles and feet were so swollen and they just hurt.  I was way dehydrated.  I put my compression socks on and they were so tight it was painful.  Anyway, I didn't want to back out on Angela, so I stuck to the plan.  I ran 14 miles on the trail.  Angela wanted downhill so she ran from Suncrest and we met on 12600 and ran 6 more miles together.  I'm so glad that is over.  I don't know if I have really been running enough to taper, but I think I will.
