8.7 Miles nice and early in the morning at 9:45 pace on average. Ahhhh. Nice and cool (for now!). I spent fully half the time thinking about my next half marathon--drooling for a glorious finish. It is pretty standard for me on a run to mostly think about having a good race sometime in the near future. I wonder if this is typical. What do you guys think about on your solo runs? How much time do you spend thinking about your next race? PM Ha ha, I just ran .11 miles just to get me above the 30 mark. Very important. :) Phshaw, am I tired. I better go drink some gatorade and eat some jelly beans, I mean, sport beans. I didn't handle my long run well yet again. I was so tired and lethargic today! I almost fainted, actually. I went over to my friend's house later in the morning to help her try to organize some stuff in here house--light lifting and such. Anyway after about 2 hours of doing stuff, I started to see spots and felt like I might pass out so I had to leave before we were finished. I ate, and nothing got better. I rested, and I didn't recover. Finally I drank about 24 oz. of gatorade and I was bounding around (not really, but at least able to do stuff) within 15 min. I don't know if it was the water or the electrolytes I needed. But one thing is certain: I am not as tough as Walter...not by a long shot. That guy is always running something like 18 miles, and then pouring 24 yards of concrete. Bleh.
