I didn't run this run barefoot, I just got some new shoes that I havn't put into the blog yet. Anywase, I met up with Sarah S. at the East High School Track for a longer run. We decided to do the shriners run. We started out really fast, going like a 6:50 pace for the first mile, and since it was 103 degrees we could definitely feel that!! We slowed down a lot to like an 8:30 which is what we averaged for the rest of the run until the last mile which we picked it up a bit. Because of the heat and fear of passing out because of lack of water, we decided to stop at every sprinklers that were on to cool ourselves off. That really helped! We felt great for the whole run after we stopped for sprinklers. We went out 3 to the drinking fountain which took us across 11th avenue. We stopped at the drinking fountain, stretched, then ran back the same way. We were going to do one last mile on the track, but by this time it was 10 PM and the pitch black track was really sketchy. So we drove home!:) Throughout this whole run, my left calf was really hurting! Not like it was stiff or anything, it felt like I was tearing it...... Weird |
