You never slow down, you never grow old

Played in the RCOC+ today...primary hitter and blocker!  I am counting this as a run workout because man did I have to run today.....even dove into a wall....

hot shower please!

5 easy miles on the TM at 8:34 pace and 0.5 incline then walked 0.5 miles

Almost skipped running today because my body is a little mad at me for repeatedly throwing it at the floor and against a wall at the volleyball tournament yesterday but I sucked it up and got it done...

I'm pretty embarrassed by my crappy run tonight.  It was horrible, I'm not sure how I ran 26 miles less than a month ago when I couldn't even get through 3 miles tonight.  I really didn't want to go after having dinner with a co-worker but I dragged myself to the gym and did some pretty good upper body lifting then hopped on the treadmill and set it to 8:12 pace and and knew right away that wasn't going to happen.  I forced myself to keep that pace for half a mile then dropped to 8:49 and got in another 1.5 miles before I thought I was going to die and walked it out for another half mile then finished at 8:34 for half a mile and called it quits because I was pissed at myself.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ran OUTSIDE!!!!!  Oh it was like heaven even with the hills!!  5.1 miles in 42:57 (8:25 pace) from work over the Longfellow, up Charles St. (window shoppers in my way!) then up, up, up, up, up never ending Beacon Hill and down Bowdin St., and Cambridge St.... did that loop twice then back over the bridge and back to work....pretty darn good hill workout!
