Run: 8 x 800m Fast WU/CD (7.21 mi)
1 mile jog, then 8 x 800m fast, with 200m jog recoveries, then 1 mile jog. Never could get my HR over 160 on the intervals but was totally spent by the end of them. I was worried about doing this workout today after 2 long days but I need to get it in with the break coming.
Dentist this morning. No new fillings needed. 2 teeth with budding cavities actually were better. That purple Listerine with fluoride is amazing stuff. Use it every day and your teeth literally grow back.
Went on a shopping spree tonight!
2 bags of frozen peas. Followed up by a trip to Dick’s for an athletic supporter. I figured if anyone would have it, it would be a store called Dick’s. No cup. I don’t play full contact sports. Speaking of those sports, I saw this today. 11 minutes of football in a full game. So bogus. I can’t believe people sit around and watch this stuff. Sure, Tivo but I know lots of people that don’t have such technology and don’t know why they would need it. Maybe that is why they have time to sift through 175 minutes of programming for 11 minutes of action. Just sayin’…
Kim and I have been playing a well known prank on our kids. Wanna see?
Spent time today looking at a nutrition calculator. Trying to see if I should be thinking more about calories in vs. out. Does anybody actually do that? While in season, I try and go by feel and generally stay on the low side. But on days like today, I feel dizzy and I know it is just because my body is starving. I pigged out on some Italian tonight and got a carb fix and now all is well. Oh, Diet Mountain Dew, when can we be together again?
Planning on running Green in the morning. 9 AM at the bridge. Jim said he is going to try and meet me there. I am totally Mr. Group Trail Run now. Come join!
I went 7.21 miles with an elevation gain of 317 feet in 01:01:01, which is an average pace of 08:27. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
