Planned to do 14 this morning. Couldn't quite get there. Well, I guess I could, but the feeling I got was that to get there would do more harm than good. So I bagged it after 10+. Maybe I'll go out this evening for a double to get the miles I missed.
Well, I did go out for the double at 9:30, after watching the Hogs clobber Vandy at Memorial Gym. Nice, nice win. Boosted my spirits for certain. Anyway, still pretty stiff from this morning, and figured I needed to work out some kinks before trying to go to bed. As usual, started off pretty slow, got faster as I loosened up. Wound up with 5.76 at a 9:28 average. Total for the day, 16.11 in 2:37:39, a 9:47 average. Would have liked to have gone a bit faster, but right now I just need miles at any speed, I think.
This puts me up to 47 miles for the week despite skipping Wednesday. And I don't know that I've ever done doubles twice in a week; I have this week. Probably aim for 8 tomorrow for a 55-mile week. Maybe even get in some MP miles if the legs permit. That will also give me a 200-mile month (may already be there after tonight; not quite sure). Haven't had one of those in a while. |
