Running date with Cindy, first of what I hope will be many, many. We met at Marketplace Grill, I think is the name, at Phoenix and Massard. I got there at 4:55 a.m., she was waiting on me, and we just ran down and back on the sidewalk on Phoenix. As usual in July, it was a sweatfest, and the conversation noticeably lagged in the last mile as we just tried to keep going. But it was fun, and we had a good chat for the first half-hour. And we have another date Sunday night.
Leaving for Branson this afternoon after I finally get tires put on the Prius. I may do a treadmill run this evening when I get there. I'm hoping to get in 60 miles this week; treadmill doubles might be a good way to do it.
Addendum: Yep, got in the double once I got to Branson. Forgot that the mill here (singular) has a 30-minute time limit, but no one was waiting and another 16 minutes got me through the fish. Last half mile at MP. Once again, the glute felt better as I went faster, although bending over to tie my shoe with about a mile left was pretty agonizing. Keep doing nine miles a day, I'll get that 60 this week. New tires are pretty sweet, too; felt smoother, less road noise, and I'm willing to bet the mileage improved a bunch.
Shoes: Kinvara am (4.10), Green Silence pm (5.00). |
