Did 8.4 this morning at Pinnacle with Pat and the rest of the Crackheads. Decided against the trail option; I'm not an experienced trail runner and a sprained ankle today would not have been good, since I'm going to Clarksville today to talk to Dr. Brooks. So Pat and I hit the roads. One of those 80/80 mornings with zero breeze (80 degrees, 80% humidity). Reminded me of Houston, actually, although Houston usually has some wind anyway. Pat started out way too fast and for once I was the one that reined him in. We ended up doing some common-sense walking in response to the heat, finished our 8.4 miles in a little over 10:10 average pace.
Off to Clarksville in a bit. I may put in 3-4 tonight on the DM just because I feel like a slacker only running three days this week. Or I may not. Hope this meeting goes well. I really am tired of worrying about my job every single day, and I'd like to get back to NWA sooner rather than later.
Addendum: Did go back in spite of a very runny nose and put in 4 miles on the TM tonight. Drainage stopped while I was running, resumed when I finished. Go figure. Start some intervals this week trying to get ready to run a decent 5K at Firecracker. |
