I went to practice. I ran. My lungs frakin burned.
Burned
Burned
Burned
Legs seemed pretty good. until the next day.
they were sore. So much for being in shape.
Friday I need to run.
Saturday I will run. The TNT group is running 20 miles.
I will run with them. Not 20.
I will run with someone. Rest. Run with someone else. Cheering. Giving kudos.
New mantra.
Run
Run
Frackin run.
I ran with the group on Saturday. Took it extremely easy. Cannot believe how easy I took it. Awesome.
Ran the first 2.4 miles (west out and back) at a 10:30 pace. Sat around and poured drinks for runners. Then ran the east out and back (3.7 miles) with a run/walk runner preparing for Disney 2009. Took it easy with her chatting about what it is like to run a marathin. Pitfalls of starting to fast, controlling excitement and taking gels.
It felt good to be out there running. I really think it is a soothing experience for me.
Also had the guys out on saturday night to watch a hard fought, sometime painstaking loss to Missouri. It was a great time.
Sunday saw a cookout with some of the TNT members from the summer season. That was a good time as well.
spent monday with Allyson's family at Polywogs (Oakwood) for some boating, food and plain old relaxation (for me that meant reading - for them playing dominoes).
