Run: Mead HS (7.01 mi @ 08:15)
Got out after work for a 2-fer. Wore VFFs. Nice and cool outside which kept me rigid. However, I found myself doing mostly 8s and a couple high 7s. Felt great. Was surprised to be getting quicker miles in these shoes. Around mile 4 I found myself having a running high. Just cruising and feeling great. Ah, almost whole again yet the foot hurts when not running. Whatever.
Spent the evening taking the 3 kids out for dinner and to the pool by myself. Kim stayed home to get caught up on things. Never fails that someone comes up to me at dinner and says I am a brave man for taking all these ladies out. I can handle it. The only foul was when I spilled salsa into my drink. At the pool, Kayla and I mostly hung out at the hot tub. Soaked my leg. Heat therapy I figure.
Actively calculating total miles for the week. Wasn’t this what got me into trouble? Oh well. It’s that or race. Thinking about hitting a few.
I went 7.01 miles with an elevation gain of 148 feet in 00:57:56, which is an average pace of 08:15. Heart rate average was 139. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
