Hadn't intended to run quite this late (finished around 10 p.m. local, which I guess would have been 11 p.m. LAST night), but here I am. GA/recovery on the TM, 9 miles, with a 400-meter surge thrown in every fifth lap largely to break up the monotony, then the last two laps were a surge at GMP. The electronic leash went off at the 5-mile mark; patient calling with yet another non-emergency, so that forced me to stop for five minutes and return the call. I don't see an emoticon button on the toolbar, but if there were, I'd be looking for :rolleyes:. Since I won't have a Saturday long run this week due to another trip up the Hill with Tyler, I'll bump a few more miles onto the week's shorter runs to semi-compensate, maybe get the week up to 62 or so. Then next week will have a 22 on Sunday and 17 on Saturday, so getting over 70 won't be much problem before the taper begins. Dadgum, are we already that close to tapering? Yikes. Speaking of which, good news from the marathon people in Memphis. I was worried about being assigned to the wrong corral or wrong wave and not being able to run with the 3:30 pace bunny. No problems, according to the St. Jude people; I'm on my own in finding and lining up in the right corral for the 3:30 pace. |
