Objective: General aerobic pace at first (MP + 1 min) but switched to Easy/Recovery pace (MP + 2 min.) after first 4 miles. Legs are not yet recovered from Sunday's workout. Weather: 50F Clear and calm. Starry skies, weird pockets of cooler and warmer air in the neighborhood. 15 min. abs & weights
Not quite enough sleep last night due to a combination of unavoidable circumstances, but the thing that really slowed me down was "dead legs." They just haven't quite bounced back from Sunday's difficult workout. I guess that is good, since it means I'm building strength. Just for fun... Dear Dog Walker, I regret to inform you that, as incredible as it may seem, there is not a leash law exemption for Labrador Retrievers. I know, it's absurd. After all, when I think of the trouble it would take for you to actually hold a leash in your hand... you might even have to follow the dog over to each tree he wants to sniff! Absurd. I totally sympathize. All those pesky tax payers who built the sidewalks and parks in this neighborhood are such whiners. So what if your off leash dog inflicts anxiety on every child, runner, and leashed-dog owner who passes? They can get therapy! The important thing is that you not be inconvenienced in any way. But alas, until that happy day when the leash law exemption you so richly deserve is magically delivered, you will have to exert yourself. Sincerely... |
