AM-Easy run this morning with my Saturday group, although we all got separated. We always start out too fast (about 9:15), and then I drop back after about a mile. I especially didn't want to push it this morning, because I'm meeting Lybi and Mik'L for 5 more miles this afternoon. Total time was 1:40:50, with an average pace of 9:54. One person in our group ran 22+ miles! I feel 100% fine now, but I am a little tired. On Friday nights we usually have sushi, and then go to Barnes and Noble and sometimes get lattes. Last night, we got what we thought were decaf lattes. 1:30 am rolled around, and I was still wide awake! My husband didn't sleep well, either. If I take a little nap, I should be fine for this afternoon.
PM-I met Lybi and Mik'L for the first time, and we ran a 5-mile loop around Tempe Town Lake. They were also the first bloggers I have met in person. It's very cool how the blog brings people together who never would have met otherwise....I have run several races in the general area but had never run around the lake. There were some spots of really deep sand, which made for some very challenging running. Before the run, my legs felt surprisingly fresh, but I was feeling pretty tired by the end. The 16 miles took its toll on my legs! In summary: a great run with great company! |
