8.0 miles / 1:09:16 / 8:40 A.P. / Treadmill

Was sick a bit from Wednesday on through today.  Not sure what.  Nauseated, headache/migraines, generally deflated.  This morning I had the worst of the migraines, but by 6:00 tonight it was mostly gone and I thought I'd give an easy run a go.  My easy run turned into the longest treadmill run of the year.  I would have kept going but I've got an eleven-year old staying with me tonight and she wants her father to go to bed too.  Sheesh.  What fathers won't do for their daughters.

I'm about half way through Part 3 of Comanche Moon--the Larry McMurtry Lonesome Dove prequel.  I like it.  I noticed back on Thursday when I put in that pathetic 1.6 miles--I was watching 30 Rock just before I ran and Elizabeth Banks was guest starring as Jack's current love interest.  Well, it just so happens that she's also in Comanche Moon!  Yeah!  She plays the part of Maggie--Newt's mother.  And she liked Cap'n Call too before he went and got all stubborn and prideful.  What she didn't ever appear in was ER.  But you know who did that is in Comanche Moon?  Linda Cardellini--she played nurse Samantha Taggart from 2003 all the way to the end, 2009.

But I digress.  Tonight's was a good run, and now my baby girl is asleep--I suppose I could go jump on the treadmill and run a bit more.  And I would if it weren't 11:00...

Four laps around Rotary Park here in American Fork is roughly 1.1 miles.  The first 1.1 miles was run barefoot.  10:33 total time, 9:32 pace.  The second 1.1 was in my old Saucony's.  9:54 total time, 8:52 pace.  I may hit the treadmill later.

Ankles and calves hurt.  Those hills are buggers!  As crappy as I felt in the first few miles, I ended up only being 4 seconds slower than last weeks run.

I also think that starting a barefoot running/foot strengthening regimen so close to a race (Buffalo Run 50K, March 27) was a mistake.  I think I'll stop all barefoot running until that's over.

Group run on Saturday: 7:00 a.m. at the Provo River Parkway trailhead located at, or near, Utah Lake State Park.

Good run, even better company.  Thanks Smooth, Kathie and Kimmy for putting up with me.  Smooth and Kathie kicked my butt!  Can I get a Hallelujah! for those donuts?  BM, Cougar, and McFrosty all started out with us.  It was a good group.

Now I think I'll just take it easy between now and the Buffalo Run 50K next Saturday.  Fun-fun!
