Sunday:
RUN: 5 miles in ~45mins. The am run was cold and rainy, but quite pleasant. I think I said before that the miles just came and went without notice. By the time afternoon rolled around the sun was out and it was 51F! Once finished at work, how could I NOT run again? (considering that I left work when I did because I was too worn out to do more work...)
I was going to bail Frea out of BS, but the shop closed at 5pm. I got there at 5:10pm. But I had a plan to get the bike then run on the FBR course for 2 miles out, the goal being to finish the 8 miles in the training plan.
Started sluggish but warmed up fast, the only complaints were a headwind and 2 pedestrians who called me Babe as I ran by. (Babe? Is that all you got?) . Got to 2 miles and realized I was only a few blocks from Hanley. So I'll turn around at Hanley, it was downhill anyway. Coming back on the north side of Vernon, I passed Heman Park. Never ran there before, so a minor detour into Heman. Nice, but unremarkable. Onwards to the finish.
Once at the finish, the Garmin read 8.55 miles. Well, I can't stop there! Round up to 8.6 miles. OK, now the Garmin reads a time of 1:28. Oh geez, just go to 1:30. Now it reads 8.8 miles. Am I going to stop 0.2 miles short of 9 ?!? No!! Onwards to 9.0 miles. I drew the line there, but happily I could have kept going. Very nice way to end a weekend--long group ride, a punishment swim, group run, then bonus run!!
