Modified Newton Tuesday Ten. I was tired, I know...common theme lately, huh? Just exhausted tired and fried from sun yesterday. I didn't want to get up early, but knew this was my only chance to run today. So, I did a modified loop with the Newtons. Since the 10 miler runs right by my house I figured I'd sleep in and meet them at mile 6 then run down to Chad's and turn around and run back home. I get to sleep in, get time with the group and less miles :) Perfection. Yes, I'm being a big weenie lately! Got out of the house a little earlier than planned, but sometimes those guys HAUL and I didn't want to miss them. I ended up having to run almost 2 miles before I ran into them, oh well, less uphill home! I still could hardly keep up with Chad, George and Dave, but Ronny was okay to take it slow so he got to run slow with me :) We had a nice little visit for 3 miles, but then I realized I was at mile 5 and nearly 3 miles away from home. So, I cut off early and turned back home. If I would've gone to Chad's house I would've ended up with 10...a lot of good a 'modified' loop would've done me, huh?!? The climb back home was as brutal as I've always remembered, but I better get used to it, HOMM is coming up and I get to run it in the teens of a marathon, nice. Then a canyon afterward, even better. AP: 8:42 splits: 8:58, 8:57, 8:05, 8:01, 7:47, 9;18, 9:40, 8:51 (can you find the 3 miles I ran with the Newtons?!?)
Eight exactly to my door. Wonderful morning out there today! Now I just hope the rain stays away long enough to get Sara out for our long awaited hike!
