Spent the day packing, then decided to go run tonight. Had planned to do 8 or 9, but legs felt good and I only did 48 last week, so I kept going. Eventually decided to run for exactly two hours, progression style, and see how far I got. Ended up at 13.25 before I had to pull the panic switch to stop (control panel shorted out again; 10 miles seem to be the tipping point where my flying sweat does that). Ran the last 1.25 at GMP-plus. Legs felt surprisingly good for as hard as I ran in the 5K yesterday. Hope to take advantage of the holiday for another good run tomorrow, perhaps after Tyler leaves to go back to school.
It's been a good weekend -- good time with my son, enjoyed the ball game, two good runs, got a lot accomplished on the house. And an added bonus: After lunch with my parents today, we went over to a coworker of Pam's house who was offering us boxes from her recently completed move. There were plenty of those, but there was another offering -- an essentially unused treadmill, complete with incline feature, free. Somebody gave it to her, she's not going to use it and it's taking up space, and she offered it to me. I would have turned it down a month ago because I would have had no place to put it, but in the house in Springdale, I will have a place to put it. And I can use it |
