Notes
A good solid tempo run. I am pleased with this, especially since I ran 8 yesterday a.m., and then worked like a she devil rock climbing last night. Sleep has been lacking as well or I might have been able to do a little better today. Still this is fine, and I feel good. Met Dan at Stadium and took off. After a spell he was ahead of me so I put on the music and didn't pay attention to anything else - neither Dan mentioning the miles nor the mile marker! Before I knew it I had run 4 out and my goal was just for 6 miles today. Oh well. Turned around, and thought maybe I could run 8, but shoot, I was tired, and just knew that wouldn't be a good idea, plus there was absolutely no need. Several times during the first 2 tempo miles I wanted to quit, and didn't feel good at all, but back with tempo 3 and 4 I felt better. I think the music helped some. I missed my watch beeping at 6 and when I looked down next it was 6.25, so, feeling spent, I stopped and then had to walk 2 miles back. That turned out fine though as there was nothing to do for it, but enjoy a nice walk. Dan ran further then turned back and we walked back together. The bugs were out in full force today though. Several horseflies chased us heading out and I got chewed up by mosquitoes all through the walk back. Especially for being very unsure how this run would go it turned out a lot better than I had even hoped for. Trouble is, now I don't want to go to work.
