Added a mile to the recovery run tonight to make up for part of the run I missed Sunday. I'll add another mile tomorrow and then do a 3-miler Friday night. Routine treadmill run tonight as the rain pelted down outside and the wind blew 30 mph (Gustav is definitely here, and will be for the rest of the week). Had a little interruption at 3.75 miles, but picked up the pace from then on and wound up at about a 9:30 pace for the entire run. Started real late because we had a 21st birthday dinner for my niece -- for me, a small steak and lots of carbs: sweet potato, wild rice and a big dessert. Got pummeled at work even worse than I thought; Ginny's daughter shattered her arm (humerus?) over the weekend and she stayed home, so I had to see 26 patients and handle about 100 refill requests, including some from people Ginny was supposed to see in person today. I sure hope she's back tomorrow... Twelve-miler tomorrow; I'll have to decide how to handle it -- slow and steady, 3:1, progression? I haven't done a 3:1 in a while, so that may be the approach, with the last three miles at MP. |
