Ran with Wyatt. Around mile 2 I didn't feel well and wondered how it was all going to happen, but then by mile 4 I felt great. I glad improvements happened.
Ran with Wyatt. tri-county loop with an extra mile at the end around her house to total 18. She calls that the Mount Surrey Chi-hua-hua run because there are wwwaaayyy too many people that have those little dogs over the course of that 1 mile. But at least there's only one house that has a life sized bleeding heart Jesus statue in the front yard. Too many of those and people might get ideas.
We took water breaks at miles 7 and 15. Then a tree-line break intbetween those. No porta potties out on this run. There was an awesome woman who stuck her head out her front door as we ran by and cheered us on yelling "great job ladies, looking good! Keep up the good work." It was like we were really in a race. I'll never forget her- she made my day. Lots better than the lady who yelled at us 2 weeks ago and called us names :-)
overall avg pace was 9:58. started slow, but for most of the miles we were just about 9:58. the pace was getting slower from miles 12-15, but we picked it up at the end and managed negative splits by finishing our last 3 miles around 9:30's.
I don't normally do ice baths, but thought I'd try it today. I fell asleep in the ice bath. I think maybe I was a little tired, so I crawled into bed and slept for 2 hours. It was great. I was happy that I had the time to let myself sleep today too. Some Saturdays are too busy for sleeping all day. Not much else got done today, but I don't think the world will come to an end if I miss a day of Saturday chores. |
