My son had an early soccer game in Vegas (his team won- yah!) and I couldn't figure out how to get my long run in without having to get up at 3am. I just wasn't feeling that crazy today. So I plan on getting out tonight and getting some miles in! Yell at me if I don't! Every Sat. counts from now until SGM! (I'm in such worse shape this year compared to this time last year, oh well..)
I got in 7 miles which isn't exactly the 14 or so that I needed for my training plan. But every mile counts and somehow I have to balance running, family, work, church responsibilities, etc... So I'll take my 7 and just try for more miles next week!
It was a solo evening run w/ the ipod. Got to see the sun set and run by a cool overlook of St. George. I stopped about every mile to drench myself with water, but kept a 9:50 pace so I'm happy with that. My body seems to be doing much better in the heat also, considering it was 100 degrees out and I survived! |
