*really boring when you do 3 out and backs from your house; but did make it easier to GU and drink water
*one way to make your neighbors think you are crazy; hence the up and down the road many times and the fact I circled my house 3 times to hit 15.0 on the Garmin
*considerably harder than 12 miles; yeah I broke the 10% rule
*11 miles away from what I will have to do on October 16th!
Random Thoughts from Tonight:
I wanted a fountain Sprite from Long John Silvers when I saw a cup on the side of the road. I have not ate there in a couple years but I really like their ice.
I wanted a new Mini Blizzard from DQ when I saw a spoon in the road
I realized I should not run while hungry.
I need a better bra. Apparently 15 miles of jarring is even enough to make my barely A girls hurt : ( A problem I never thought I would ever have!
I planned some new modified test for my kids in Social Studies.
Lots of other random thoughts about what I would wear for the marathon and of course the usual pace calculations that keep your brain busy.
This week will consist of:
Monday- active rest on the trainer; miles unknown
Tuesday- swim/5 mile run
Wednesday- Possible Brick or doing the 15 mile course for the tri for practice
Thursday- swim/5 mile run
Friday- rest
Saturday- treadmill run at Great Wolfe Lodge
Sunday- most likely rest but maybe a work out at the hotel
Monday - 16 mile run (Might as well LABOR thru a run on Labor Day; HA HA!)
Congrats on the 15 miles.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first century ride, we got back at 99.3 miles, so I rode circles in the parking lot till I hit 100. My team mates were laughing at me, sitting in the curb, mock cheering me on.
Your Mary is on Oct 16th? Thats my Bday!!!
