The Last night of On-Call duties till December.
Thank goodness too cause this 5 mile running is for the birds. Actually, since my marathon is next week, I should be tapering anyway.
One good thing I have noticed is that my times are steadily decreasing regardless of the route.
Another thing I've noticed as well is that when I wake up in the afternoon (I work 3rd shift) I simply cannot wait to go out for a run. I hope this trend continues.
Choosing this marathon I'm running next week was no happy accident. I knew by having something to train for would allow me to get back into that "groove" I once had.
Training smart, proper nutrition and allowing for adequate recovery (Recover-Ease) is crucial.
I haven't had the opportunities to take many good pictures since I have been running through my 'hood, and well, there is nothing interesting about that. I was able to snap a photo of my shadow while running. Kinda looks like I have a dress on, but I can assure you that I didn't.
I'm planning on going camping this Saturday and possibly running a 5k on Sunday. Won't be much to report until then. Everyone have a great weekend.
Totals: 5 miles.....Road....9:08 pace (moderate)
Ave HR: 170
Max HR: 184

Nick,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am in jeopardy for the 5k. (Sick) Keep on running!
Rob, don't sweat the 5k. I've been tossing around the idea as well.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my wife is going with me camping at Mohican. If she doesn't, I won't have any one to watch my dog while I am running it anyway.
Get better.
Have I not been paying attention? What marathon?
ReplyDeleteNYC in 2005. I was there too, what a coincidence. It wasn't a very good day for me either, but I know it is because I walked around NYC for 2 days before hand. It was still one heck of an energized experience.
ReplyDeleteI hope Columbus goes well for you.
You're running a marathon! I totally missed that!
ReplyDeleteHey SLB,
ReplyDeleteNo biggie, I must not have made a big fuss over it.
I'm using this marathon as a jumping off point for my ultra training.
Why this race? I don't know. Seems to be a good point to do so.
