Well, today the wind was so strong that there was no way I was going to have a repeat of yesterday. Okay so I'm a whip, but its hard to get any good training in with drifting snow and when the wind doesn't allow you to see the road while your running. This is the first time I haven't braved the outside weather conditions all year. The wind this morning was blowing 35 to 40mph. Yesterday at work the wind was blowing up to 60mph, and it grabbed our work's entrance door and ripped it off the hedges. I decided to do my long run on the home treadmill, and believe me it felt long. I have to work again tonight to install security patches, and I didn't want to be tired for a long run tomorrow. I bought the movie Silent Hill last night to watch it on my run this morning, and it's not the type of movie that I would watch again. It wasn't what I was expecting. I ran 20.7 miles in 6:45 overall pace. I was very hot and sweaty at the end. My treadmill said I burned 2600 calories, and I believe it. I probably consumed about 100 calories of honey during the run, and about 8oz of water. My Achilles Tendon did hurt towards the end of the run, and is still swollen so I might have to take action on that. I have two doctors that I trust that I might give a call just to have it looked at |
