Oh, bother

Posted by Running Chick in Training

Bore, bore. 9 miles. Bore. Fastest ever. Bore, snooze. Straight into an 18 mph wind. Bore, snooze, snooze, bore.

If you hadn’t guessed, I kicked some serious ass today.  That statement would have much more power were it not my own ass that got kicked.  Holy F, it was windy.  How windy was it?  Well, it was big trees bending over windy.  Shit blowing across the road ahead windy. Category 1 hurricane windy!  Okay, I exaggerate.  Anyway, maintaining my pace in that infernal wind was really hard, hence the kicking my own ass thing.  But I did it and I felt pretty okay when I finished.  Which pretty much means that my body should start breaking down at any moment.  Hmm, which part shall it be this time?  Calves? Hamstrings? Quads?

Summary


Here’s the map.

 

Totals for the week:  12.02 miles @ 10:20.

Next week is a total of 21 miles with a long run of 10.

The UPS guy left me a present this afternoon. Well, okay. I bought it, he just delivered it. But still, new stuff!

Superfeet Berry insoles

Kitteh inspects my new insoles and basically gets in the way of my shot

Nike Core Windless Half Zip

The handy back pocket holds my iPhone perfectly, although it's probably to heavy to ride around back there. But, it'll easily fit a packet or two of Gu.

Inside the main pocket was another mp3 pocket and an earbud pass-through.

I have done no running this week. I am a naughty, irresponsible runner! What can I say - I was sick on Monday and just plain sick and tired on Wednesday. I have every intention of running tomorrow. At least that's my plan as of this moment. :-D
