Weird night's sleep. In bed just after 9, asleep by 9:30, awake at 11:30, couldn't go back to sleep thinking about my race, got on the computer, up until 2, went back to bed, still couldn't sleep (brain still wired, cold, and sore). So I took a hot bath at 2:45, which addressed all three issues well enough that I fell asleep pretty quickly. Then I slept until 9 when Max the cat woke me up. Pam the wife was in Camden visiting her friend Debbie, so she was not involved in all this. Still no official results on the 20K, unless they were posted within the last hour. Nope, I checked; still not there. One of those five-mile recovery runs where the legs were fine but the rest of me was half asleep. I think sometimes I could snooze while running, and maybe have from time to time. Kept the pace around 10:00 to give the legs a little break. I'll do another easy run tomorrow to recover from the 20K before I get back into GA runs and strides and stuff. Do have one more race result from this weekend. My long-run partner Pat was doing the Omaha Marathon this morning as basically a training run before Detroit next month. Pat ran a 4:13:44 on his training run. Attaway Pat! If he can do better than that in Detroit, more power to him. Now I have one more target to shoot for -- if I can't break 4, I still have to beat Pat. Unless he breaks 4 in Detroit, which he just might. |
