Running Nowhere
Today's Run: 5.0m
Run Time: 58:14 (11:39 minutes per mile)
Total Miles to Date: 511.3
Thoughts on the Run:
Today was a nice, easy recovery run. Was going to do it outside, then decided I'd prefer to have this run flat. I think it may actually be more fun watching paint dry than running on the treadmill but it kept my pace consistent, was flat, and I enjoyed it. I also stayed dry. Okay, I didn't stay dry - I was soaked in sweat, but I didn't get rained on.
Not sure what to expect tomorrow. It's like the world understands my long runs are on weekends, so it has to drop to 50 degrees and rain. This is getting ridiculous ... is it too much to ask for just one nice hot sunny run before having my nice hot sunny Twisted Ankle race in May?
Anyway, I'll take what Mother Nature is willing to give. If it's wet, I'm not slogging through the mud of the mountain so I'll probably pound it on the pavement of my neighborhood. Either way, 12 miles is getting done and it'll get done with some hills mixed in.
I threw together a few more Google gadgets (this is loads of fun ... apparently as of writing this I'm ranked #62 on their authors page).
The gadgets I've added so far (starting with the newest):
Whew! That was a lot of fun.
Until next time,
