They paved paradise, and put in a parking lot. . .
AM: 8.18 miles of cement. A very non glorious pavement pounding run back and forth on Harbor, the road with a gazillion hotels/motels by disneyland. I went around the block and the other road was more seedy. There are so many stop lights I did the geeky run around waiting for it to turn green action. Slow pace while waiting for lights, definitely faster pace when actually running. I want to do some speed tomorrow, but it looks like it will have to be of the fartlek variety. We are going to Irvine and the beach, so I'll do a second run there.
Weight: O dear me, I didn't bring my scale, but I better start eating healthier, that's for sure. We went to Medevial Times last night, which was so fun for all of us, but the food was one size fits all: tomato soup, garlic bread, garlic potato, 1/2 chicken, a rib and a pastry. I skipped on the pastry but ate the rest plus two servings of sprite (I was thirsty!). I now close my confessional.
PM: We went to the beach just north of Crystal Cove with Paul's brother and sister-in-law and their two little kids. Then we went to their home in Irvine and they treated us to a yummy lasagna dinner. I still hadn't gotten in my PM run so I ate a small portion, waited 1/2 hour, then ran through UC Irvine and the faculty housing, uphill the first part of the run, downhill the second. 4.4 miles, 7:45 ave pace |
