A Tough One

I am really giving my legs a beating this weekend. I didn’t really get a good night sleep. Thing 2 gave us a 5:45 am wake up call. This meant I wasn’t in the mood to go out and run. After a little procrastination, I packed up the truck and head out to the trail. The weather was looking like it was going to pour at any minute. It didn’t matter. I was already committed.


Workout

9 miles of hills.

I have yet to download the data to my computer, but I know I finished at a 7:53 pace. Total time for the run was 1:10. I am guessing I climbed about 1700 ft and descended about the same.

The run started out great. At the halfway point, my pace was 7:34. At about 5 miles, I really started feeling it. By mile 7 mile legs felt like lead. I knew the 40 mile bike ride the day before was going to play a factor in my run.

To be honest, I would have been happy with an 8:15/8:30 pace.

Even though it wasn’t one of my best runs, I felt I still came out ahead.


Diet

Some of these calories were beer and Jack Daniels. I celebrated a tough couple of days hanging out with a friend and checking out some live music.
