At least once in every training cycle, I have a Saturday where the legs just don't want to run. Today was that day. It got so bad that about the 9 mile mark, I considered calling Pam and telling her to come get me. Instead I kept going. And going. And going. Ended up with 17.58, and a 74-mile week. My first 70-plus mile week since April or May, not sure which. Of course, that's padded a little by the fact I did 16 on Sunday instead of last Saturday and 17 today, but even if I'd done the run on Saturday instead of Sunday, it would have been well over 60 this week. Started out on Cimmaron, then Overo, west on Backus, south on White Road, west on Elm Springs, south on 40th Street, east on Don Tyson, south on Carley, east on Main Street in Johnson, northeast on Hewitt in Johnson, north on Johnson Road, back west on Don Tyson, north on Carley, east on Sunset, north on West End, then Cheyenne, then Pump Station, then Silent Grove, then a loop around Lake Springdale, then up through Hunt Park, back down Fleming to Silent Grove, and finally home. Whew! It's exhausting just remembering all that. Still trying to decide if I want to run Soaring Wings next weekend. Probably not. Just run with the Crackheads instead, although I might change that if I decide I need some speedwork. |
