Well my running plans changed big time today. I had planned a 20+ mile long run but forgot that I had promised to take my daughter's to a big football game last night. Our local school got to play in the brand new Colts stadium (amazing what you can build for $720 mil) and we didn't get home last night to around 12:30 and I didn't get to sleep until around 1:30 so no way I was going to be able to get up early enough to get the long run in since my daughter had a soccer game this morning as well. So decided to do a shorter tempo run instead. Its times like these that I am reminded that I am a Dad first. I started out and my legs had no energy. I knew this was not going to be a great run so thought I would just try to make the best of it. When I started the tempo I could feel I was off so thought I would run the first mile at what felt like a good hard tempo pace and then try to hold that. I ran the first mile in 7:01 and wanted to try to run the others around 7:00. I managed to run the next three in 7:03, 7:02, 6:54. I never really felt good but I did take some satisfaction from making the best out of a rough day. I have got to get some sleep/rest to get back on track. Three nights in a row with not enough sleep is taking its toll. Might try to do another easy run tonight if I feel better. 1:10:23 PM Decided to go back out for an easy run tonight. It was very warm today so even at 8:00 it was in the 80's and humid. When I started out I didn't feel very good getting started and thought about calling it quits but after a couple of miles I started feeling much better. By the 3rd mile I actually felt pretty good so started picking up the pace. I felt good the rest of the way and picked it up each mile. The body is both an amazing and complex thing. After feeling so rough this morning I came back tonight and actually felt good even after being outside all day in 90+ degree weather. 56:08 |
