Today was slow going (9:18 ave). I have not had enough water to drink upon reentry to our desert valley. I just realized that Hobble Creek is 2 weeks away, and that I should be deep into SGM training. I've ramped up my weekday mileage, but so far have not run anything above 13 since June. I'm feeling pretty good right now, but that all changes once I start pulling 17-23's on Saturdays. I hate to ruin my fun running. I love running on vacation. Everyone who was with me kept saying " I don't know how you do it" meaning, run on vacation every day. I guess it's that I really do love to run, and when I have no time constraints, or other stress, I want to run more, not less. I've only got 2 more weeks before the kids go back to school and we're all fighting for that prime time between 6:00- 7:30 a.m. So I'll try to do my best to take advantage of the next 14 days before that whole grind begins anew. |
