Whew! Still not recovered....is my mantra for the week. The good news is that nothing hurt during the run, which means I'm a little more recovered. The bad news is...I'm still slow, slower than last night.
I had a good run, though. I have some new music on my iPod, which made it fun. And, after all this whining about not being recovered, guess what I did today? I signed up for a half marathon...on Saturday! My rationale: it was only $25, and the shirt is supposedly a very cool tech shirt. So, this will be a "training run" that I happen to pay for, get a cool shirt, and run with other people. I don't think I could "race" it if I tried.
I know some of you are telling me not to look at the Garmin when I run, and I didn't for the most part. But I decided to really pick it up for the last mile, and I did: to a 10:03 mile. :-( This marathon recovery stuff is pretty depressing...I'm glad I got out there, though.
1:11:22, 10:12 average (snail) pace.
Later: I signed up for the Rock n Roll Marathon in San Diego! It's on June 1. I've never done 2 marathons this close in time before, and I'm excited to see how I will do. |
