Lucky Number 2051
Today's Run: 3.16m (5.09km)
Run Time: 26:55 (8:32/mile or 5:17/km)
Total Miles to Date: 734.4m (1,181.9km)
Thoughts on the Run:
I was amazed when I woke up today and realized it had been several days since my last run. I was scheduled to run on Tuesday but came home very late, so I decided to spend time with the family and relax and get home earlier today to run. It turned out to be a solid plan and I hit the treadmill hard. I was able to pick up at my 8:32 minute pace and finished comfortable, so I'll be increasing on Friday and into next week.
I've been a bit spoiled with meals lately. After winning a copy of Modern Indian Cooking in a competition, my daughter tackled a dish of Marinated Lamb Curry. It was delicious! I had a lovely dinner (as featured in the video when you click on the link) and it made for a great lunch the next day. Tonight I was treated to a shepherd's pie made with lamb meat. Delicious!
Lizzie Marie did it again, this time being featured in our community magazine. Way to go!
It's official ... I'm now entered in the Oct 27th Silver Comet Half Marathon. I trained on this course for my last marathon attempt, so I know it well. I'll continue to train on hills, but it will be rewarding to run the race on flat ground! Yes! I'm not planning on breaking Kara Goucher's record of 1:06 ... wow that woman is fast!
Those of you following the antioxidant debate will find this article interesting ... apparently, eliminating sugar but taking multivitamins doesn't bode well for the life expectancy of worms.
While I was celebrating my 26:10 5K, American vegan Scott Jurek won the Spartathlon, a 153-mile (246km) race in 23 hours, 12 minutes, and 14 seconds. That's almost a 9-minute mile the entire way!
Senior citizens apparently benefit from "something new," Creatine and CLA. Of course we knew about these 20 years ago, but I guess the media is a little slower to catch on. Maybe focusing on older subjects gives it a new twist?
Anyway, that's it for today ... will be in touch soon!
