My Lovely Wife wanted me to post my “Hangin’ with The Dog” picture since I didn’t post one this morning. Of course it was 4:15 AM and I was trying to get psyched for my run. She requested I ask forgiveness for the kids game console mess!!!
I had a good run – More tomorrow!
The Dog
Feeling better today.
I had a long day yesterday and by the time I got home, it was late and I have my 5K today, so I only ran 4 miles. They were 4 really good miles. The heat didn’t bother me as much and I just felt good running.
Today is the Shake and Bake 5K. TJ, RS and I are going to eat breakfast at Steak n Shake and then head out to meet Neill (@BigBigGeek) at the race.
By the way, I drank a bottle of the beet root juice. Interesting to say the least. Sweet going down, but the after taste is similar to soil. 🙂
“The Dog” loves her ball. I think she thinks I will take it from her. 🙂
Anyway, I’m just hangin’ with “The Dog” and playing ball as I wait to head out.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement. This marathon training isn’t as fun as I thought it would be. 🙂
Just sitting here pondering my long run with “The Dog”. She is happy to get some attention and I am happy to relax before I attempt my longest run. Last year at this time my longest run was 6 miles. Now I want to make between 15 – 18 miles.
I did take the good advice I got yesterday from Russ and others and took the day off of running. We just did some shopping and I cut the hedges. So I got a workout in anyway.
Today I plan on mixing up my route a bit. I have a 7 mile route in our neighborhood that I run on long days. Today however, I plan on running 2 five mile loops and then do the 7 mile route. That will allow for me to come by the house and drink some water along the way.
Here is hoping for the “zone” that David mentioned. I’m really going to try to make it a steady run and just see what happens.
Heading out to the Retro Run 5K. Hot, humid and fun. The Dog is excited.
