Swam this morning. 2x300 meters. 1x200 meter. Felt very tired. I will run this evening.

I ran 7 miles this evening. the last 2 miles I did at a marathon pace. I couldnt get to a 5:30 mile like I wanted to. I averaged 6:30 miles and the last 2 miles were 5:52 and 6:05. I feel a bit of congestion coming on and I felt extremely tired.  Im still taking a ton of vitamin c's and some glucosamine for my knee.

By the way, I had a eye appointment which has been 5 years in the making. Ive been having some dry eye problems. So I got my eyes dilated and couldnt see worth a crap after.  I had my darkest set of sunglasses on and was running a blurry 7 miles. I could only make out the white line. Ill bet motorists thought I was a drunk runner or something!

Walter,

Did you forget a red bag from Del Sol? I think it is a pad. I will bring it down to Moab for you if it is yours.

From Walter on Thu, Mar 06, 2008 at 16:48:18
