Stroller pushin in Texas

20 miler down and out.  Proud of this one.  7:54 AP.  I ran out the West gate and into Del Rio.  Stopped at McDonald's for a drink and bathroom stop.  A guy saw me on the road and he told me good running and I was going a long way.  Lots of horn honks and waves, kind of funny.

Ran East toward the Main Gate.  This was into the wind, but it dried all of the sweat off of me, so it was ok.  Took the loop back to the West Gate,  18.65 when I got back to the base.  Stopped at the gym for a quick drink.  Finished off with a 7:20 mile.  Walked off a half mile back to the trailer.

My fuel belt bugs me.  All of the water bottles were foaming and tasted soapy so I had to dump the water early on.  Re-filled the water bottles at McDonald's.  Took 2 Gus and 4 salt tablets along the way.

3 recovery miles with Naomi in the stroller.  She was relaxed and enjoyed her run.  Good to be out in the evening running around the track watching all of the wee ones play baseball.

My new Kinvaras came in the mail.  :)  I felt like I was running on small clouds.  They also match my Boston jacket perfectly.   

Ran to and from the gym, really hot outside. 

TM workout.  1/4 mile @ 8, 1/2 mile @ 8.5, 1 mile @ 9  Repeated 3 times.  Went for a fourth time but my music died right before the last mile.  I went 1/2 @ 9.5 instead.

1 hour on the elliptical

This was a funny run.  I wanted 10 miles at 7:30 AP.  Why have I not taken advantage of my wicked fast husband before?  We warmed up, and he made me do strange warm up routine things after a mile.  Tin soldiers, strides, butt kicks, high knees.  

We started the run and it was in the windy wind and pretty cold.  The first mile was not a 7:30.  Then we stopped and talked to some people while we watched an Easter parade that had maybe 10 kids following a fire truck.  I made David take a picture for my brother for later laughs.  

We started running more, still into the wind.  I had my music now, so I was able to hit the paces better.  I was just going crazy with my pace being everywhere and I tried to calm down, but I couldn't.  David was thinking I was pretty strange.  

7:53, 7:41, 7:13, 7:23, 7:19, 7:20, 7:31, 7:26, 6:55 yup... The pace was everywhere but I finished with 7:30 AP for ten miles. hahaha

Then we cooled down with 2 miles.  Nice run and it felt ok by the end.
