How does 4 maybe 6 turn into 7?!

RUN 7 miles in 1:09
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5

After yesterday's fatigue and a great Sunday race, I thought I might actually follow the training plan and just do 4 today. Seems a good restful idea. So after a little bit of sleep in (been falling asleep around 10 lately?!) and another inefficient prep hour I left with 2 mints. Goal was 2 miles is a mint. Figured if I hit 6 miles I'd get myself a bonus mint once home.

Oh so sluggish. Sooooooo sluggish. East to brewery, Lemp park, up to LP, loop LP and realize 6 will be easy to do with just one loop. To be sure I out n backed Park and Benton. I get done at LP and start to perk up a little bit. The mints? This was mile 4.5 and I had one at 4...hmmm, haha!

I did set a goal of doing some pickups in this run, didn't get to them until mile 5 and I did manage a few. When I got to the truck, still dragging but still moving, I'm at 6.6 miles. Oh hell, grab a mint, cotton candy one this time, and take off. Didn't eat the mint until I got home!

Bike ride in seemed so slow. And some really sharp pains in my left hip, that nagging niggle I've had. Hurts, then doesn't, hurts, then doesn't. Easy to ignore!

Forgot to mention that yesterday I looked online and found that my newly beloved mints come in MANY flavors if you find the assorted package! Vanilla, orange, lemon, lime, passion fruit, a few others. You're damn skippy I'm going to look for those!
