I ran out to the river bottoms past GU corner and then down through tree line road, once I hit my 5 mile mark I downed some GU and then did my 2 mile loop down in the river bottoms... I passed all the usual suspects, I didn't see Tom and Kim though, they must of slept in can't blame them because I almost did myself. After I did my 2mile loop I headed for GU corner and downed some fuel and then headed for home, my wife Cindie came out when I had about 2.5 miles left and brought me some Gatorade which was awfully nice of her:) Thanks honey, your the best!:) I felt pretty good today other than the last mile my legs really went on me and it seemed like it took for ever for that last mile to get done, but I "Got-R-Done". One week until Strider's Half and I am getting excited, I'm not sure how I will do because I am not in the best race shape but it will be a good test to see where I'm at and what I need to work on... And hopefully I will be able to meet some more of my fellow bloggers.
My average pace was 8:42 with my heart rate average at 142 and the total time for the run was 1:44:38, so not real speedy but I did have a few MP miles in there or tempo miles not true marathon pace that is. Well, that's about it for this week I will do a mini taper next week and hope for my legs to be strong and ready to go!
See ya Monday.
