morning: 6 miles, AP 7:33 My brain must not be working correctly. My intention was to run 6 miles around an 8:30 pace. I started the TM at 7.0 mph, which is an 8:34 pace but for some stupid reason my mind was thinking it was around a 9:30 pace. After about two minutes I put it to 8.0 thinking that was an 8:34 pace. I tell you, my mind is not functioning. I couldn't believe how hard an "8:34 pace" felt. I kept thinking to myself, "Well this is horrible! This shouldn't feel that hard. Crap!" It wasn't until the middle of my third mile that I realized my mistake!!! So I figured I should just tough it out and finish. I'm definitely not fully recovered yet. This run was hard. ST: upper body/RC added push-ups and dips afternoon: 45 minute run with Julia between classes. Neither of us had a watch. I'll just say 5 miles. PT building -> Hogle Zoo -> Golf Course -> some neighborhood -> and then back again. (Lots of hills.) I wasn't planning on a second run today but Julia talked me into it! She is a super fast runner (ran for some university ... stink, can't remember which one) but has lost some speed due to lack of running during PT school. My guess is that it will come back quickly and that I won't be able to keep up with her for much longer.
