2.0 miles walked.
The hamstrings that were tight yesterday morning were a problem all day Saturday and into Sunday. As a result, what was to be a 6.0 mile run turned into a walk through the neighborhood.

So my first 10,000m run took 1:12:59 for an average pace of 11:45/mi. Amazing. Thankfully I am back to just 4.0 miles tomorrow, IF my hamstrings will allow me that much distance.

Ran this evening rather than the morning. Unfortunately while the sun is not shining it is still plenty hot outdoors.
My legs were feeling the effects of yesterday's 6 miles. And I have to run another 4 miles tomorrow. Ugh!

Realistically I had no business trying to run again this morning. I did not finish yesterday's 4 mile workout until 9:30pm and was out before 6:30am this morning trying to run. Right now I think I can feel every major muscle below my hips. Or maybe just a few minor muscles hurting enough to feel major. My intended 4 mile workout turned into a 3 mile grunt-it-out which required a 0.25 mile walk in the middle.
No more evening runs. My run schedule is for mornings and if it gets changed by circumstances I just need to face the fact that trying to get back on track by running twice in 24 hours is not going to work at my level of fitness.

Much better today on rested legs. My pace seems to have settled around the 11:30ish mark when I am feeling okay. Occasionally I catch myself under 11:00 and can get to 10:00 with a lot of effort so I can see where the increased distance is resulting in an improvement in pace.
Sadly I must report that my much beloved '93 Isuzu Rodeo has reached the point where major repairs are needed. Since the family has been after me to replace the beast for several years now I guess it's time to shop for a new car. The end of an era for the Pendergraft clan.

| | These are NOT running miles!
Today was the annual butterfly count at the Wichita Mtns Wildlife Refuge and though I had told myself I was not going to participate, I found myself going. I tromped through 4.2 miles of the prairie in 4 hours 17 minutes trying desperately to identify butterflies as they blew past me in the 20-25mph winds. I could definitely tell that my fitness level is much improved over previous years as the 4.2 miles did not really tire me while I was active. Once I got off the trail though I felt like I had been hit by a bus. There's a big difference in running on asphalt and spending 4 hours walking across prairie pastures and granite boulders.
Obviously, I did not run on top of the hiking. THAT would have killed me.

Why does my body hate me? We got in late because of partying after working backstage at the theater, so I had planned to sleep late this morning and skip another day of running. For some reason though my body insisted I awake at 0630. Nice morning run.
