5.32 miles - 7:31 avg.
After work, I changed into my running gear and headed out the door. I decided to take a shorter yet more uphill route..... my legs are tired. About a mile into this run, I saw a guy take a left onto the road that I was coming up on. I knew right away that it was the same person that my wife and I always see running on that side of town. He's probably in his mid twenties and he has a real springy gait..... almost like a gazelle. It's actually a pretty fluid looking stride. Anyways, I immediately picked up the pace like I always do when I have a rabbit in front of me and unbeknownst to him, shadowed him for about 400yds. When he finally sensed me there, he snapped his head around quick and did a little scaredy jig :) I can't say I blame him. I have had people come up quick on me and since I'm almost always solo, it can be quite unerving. I was going to strike up some conversation, but I sensed it would be me doing most of the talking :) Maybe next time. |

3.1 miles - pretty good pace
The sun came out and warmed my old cold bones on this jaunt.
6 miles - after work - gym treadmill
This morning before work, I realized that we didn't have much in the house for food. As my eyes scanned the vast emptiness before me, I spied two lonley hotdogs in the back of the fridge. I then found some hamburger buns since for some reason there are only eight hotdog buns in a bag, yet ten dogs to a pack? I would be having hotdog sandwiches for lunch! I slammed those puppies down after my pre-lunch 5k and went on with my work day. At about 2:30 I needed a coffee pick me up. I went with the Big Easy Bold blend to make it to my 4'oclock departure time. The end of my work day arrived and I walked across the street to the gym. I was feeling caffeinated and jazzy! The idea was to get in 7-8 miles and push the total for the day to 10 or 11 miles..... respectable I thought. Once on the treadmill, I started off slow and stayed slow for the first 3 miles. I began to feel lower abdominal pain at this time and went over a mental checklist of what it could be. The pain and cramping got worse and worse, but I would be damned if I wasn't getting in those miles. I realized at 5.5 miles that I was only going to make it to 6 miles, as I was in full clench mode running at a 7:30 pace. I had visions of marathoners releasing themselves mid-run and thought better of wrecking the treadmill, and the workout of the woman directly behind me on the eliptical :)
I curse you Hotdog sandwiches and Bold coffee! |

I ran up from behind a neighbor on the road and scared her pretty good. I always run alone, so it's nice to talk to someone if even for a little while.
