This morning I felt really good and I think I beat the stomach flu, or the stomach flu beat me down and decided to leave my body. On Saturday I decided I would take Sunday (my normal day off) and Monday off as rest days, but I felt good so I ran. Besides I ate so much food Sunday that I needed the exercise. Our church had a Thanksgiving potluck, and I decided to have sweets which I normally don't do, but the temptation got the best of me. I ran 8.3 miles at an overall 6:43 pace in 56.10 minutes. Really the run was uneventful. I ran mainly a flat route. I really have been ignoring the speed training and tempos for about three weeks now and need to get back to that. This morning run felt real easy and I wanted to push the pace, but I thought I would wait till tomorrow to make sure I totally feel better.
Lunch: Very nice afternoon so I had to run outside, other
than the wind was awful. We actually have a wind advisory for the
whole day. I ran 5.3 miles at a 6:39 pace. The pace was a little
harder with the wind hitting me, but a good effort. I wanted to run
more, but I was on my lunch hour, and need to save time for a shower.
Jeff probably understands how you have to hurry to do your second run.
