I took a flat course today, and got in three good miles for 5-7. (7:18, 7:01, 6:46) The rest of them were around 7:45-8:00. I need to do more of that tempo, pickup kind of stuff to get out of my rut.
I've probably read 20+ race reports on SGM. Congrats to all the finishers, and empathy to all the disappointed.
In the afternoon my son and I met up with the cousins and Gma/Gpa to ride bikes to the top of City Creek Canyon. My 8 year old niece led the charge all the way to the end of the road. This was probably more activity than I needed, and a day later, my right foot is inflamed. It seems to be bothered by the pedaling motion. I hope this clears up in time for Saturday. I'm also helpful that the stomach flu that's plagued my family for the last week hits me soon, rather than waiting till the end of the week. It feels like something is brewing. So far, 6 out of 8 have had a day worth of puking. Maybe I'll luck out and skip it entirely...fingers crossed. |
