Interesting evening -- and run. First, had to drive an hour away to see a patient in the hospital. Pam joined me out of boredom, I guess. By the time I got there, saw the patient, we drove back, got some dinner and got home, it was nearly 8:15. I had to let dinner digest a while or risk feeding some crickets, so the run couldn't start until 9:15. Both the fitness room and the club close at 10. I went to the fitness center and got through 7.5 miles on the DM before the security guy showed up and kicked me out. So I went outside and finished my run, guessing at the needed mileage, then went back and measured it in my car after I finished.
The run itself was supposed to be a 10-miler with 5 miles at LT. Got through the warmup and four miles of LT before I got booted. So I headed out at LT pace on a route I was pretty sure was close to a mile. Turned out it was 0.9. So my tempo run was a tenth short. Big deal. The rest of the run, the cooldown if you will, was actually 1.8, so I totaled 10.2. I thought the tempo part went really well, better than I had hoped. A 7:20 pace actually felt kind of easy. Even outside after I got booted. |
