You would think that 12 miles would have been easy. This morning, I joined up with Mark at 7 a.m. to do the deed. During the first mile, I glanced at my pace reading to see 8:19. I slowed up and Mark backed off too. The miles that followed from there felt sluggish. The splits were okay, but some of the miles were *well* over 9:00/mile.
After 10 miles were done, Mark left me. I popped my earphones on and started my music. Much better. I finished the 12 miles and headed off to get my reward – a Latte with NF milk.
Back at home, the activity was already starting. We had two extra teens in our house ready for me to take them to a skateboarding exhibition. Ugh…I need more coffee (or more running). I reminded them that we would not be leaving for 2.5 more hours! Then the phone rang; one more teenager would be joining the mommy-van on the trek to the event. It’s going to be a crazy day.
Hi Juls – thanks for stopping by my blog. I had a really rough, day. It just sucks when you train for so long only to have stomach issues. Oh well, there will be another race…
My kids get super excited like that too. I hope the exibition was fun.
