Still don't know what to do about CIM. The financially prudent course would be to skip it, save my money for Boston, and just re-establish my training base through the fall after the turmoil of the summer. But then I have a good run like I did tonight and I start thinking about doing a marathon somewhere, if not necessarily Sacramento.
Ben Geren tonight, progression run around the tennis court loop, each lap faster. First one 14:17, second 13:59, third 13:25. Then a cooldown jog of about 6 minutes. Total 5.18 in 47:31. Weather was mid-60s, not quite as cool as I'd like it but a heckuva lot better than most of what I've been running in for the last five months.
Think I will bag CIM. There are halfs around here I can run -- two in Fort Smith, or Fayetteville, or Bentonville -- to get ready for Boston. Save my money, and my frequent flyer miles for Beantown (Boston registration is three weeks from today). |

Back to Cross Park tonight for a late run (start at 9:10). At first I planned seven laps, ore a little over four miles, but felt pretty good so kept going. Ended up doing 11 becaue that's what it was going to take to run for an hour. Ran for an hour and 14 seconds, 6.30 miles. Last 0.30 was at MP, probably more than that, but at least that much. Scared the heck out of one woman walking with her male companion firest time around. By the fifth or sicth time I passed them, they were both sitting still and used to me, but she screamed big time the first time around.
Ran with my new radio. Who needs a playlist? I had classic rock -- Genesis, Zep, The Who, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, Tom Petty, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane and probably a couple more I'm forgetting. I couldn't come up with a much better list than that. And only two commercials in the whole hour. Sweet.
Tonight got me over 50 miles -- for the month. Further reason not to try to run CIM. I'm getting back into the swim, but I'm not gonna be ready to run 26.2 fast in nine weeks. |
