7 miles

I was still sore and tired from yesterday's track work this morning.. didn't refuel properly yesterday after I got back to work.. got busy and forgot to take my protein and didn't drink enough fluids the rest of the afternoon....my bad

But I headed out the door anyway after a stretching a long time and got the 7 miles done. My legs felt like bricks but I got through it OK... My old Ipod is toast so I bought a new Ipod shuffle over the weekend.. Kevin created a great playlist for me from my old playlist (and then I added a few songs that I had to have) and it jams! Definitely gets you going out there on the road. As much as I could get going this morning that is....

Mile 1 9:40
Mile 2 10:04
Mile 3 10:10
Mile 4 10:08
Mile 5 10:18
Mile 6 10:20
Mile 7 10:08

for an avg pace of 10:02.... I did 'butt kicks' during mile 5 and 6 and those really hurt.. those muscles are tight from yesterday.. also didn't stretch to much yesterday either.. Dang... I really sluffed off yesterday! Must do much better next time..

Next up: 15 miles Friday.. HOW am I ever going to get it done without my girls with me??? It is going to be tough, but also a good test to see how I do all on my own. Those last 13 come marathon day will be lonely. 15 by myself... hmmmm....I guess I can take solace in the fact that after I get it done, within a couple of hours, we are headed off to our beach vacation! CAN NOT WAIT!!!
