| Buffy was so cute and excited to see me at the finish. |
My
training plan for the
San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon had me run a 10 miler today. To accomplish this I decided to run around 5 miler
lake miramar twice. It was extremely painful. I am really feeling the effects of resting that one week when
I pulled muscle surfing.
Around the 7.5 miler mark I hit a wall. I slowed down to about 14
minutes/mile and started dredging through. To recover I drank a bit of
water and had a few almonds. I took a shower and fell asleep with wet
hair on the couch. Alex got me a freezer bag full of ice and I
robotically tied it to my butt. Nike should find a way to make ice
diapers look dynamic and professional. It must have really helped
because I can walk around like a normal person and not like I was rode
hard and put away wet.
Running Lake Miramar was quite a trip. There were so many other runners that it felt like I was running an organized race. There was no place to park and it was difficult to get through groups of people who walked 3 and 4 abreast. People were loudly commenting on other people's work out gear. It had all the failings of a popular race but none of the benefits. I couldn't even listen to music because Lake Miramar gets such poor signal that my 3G won't let me play pandora.
What a great time to get those
active gearup compression socks! I think they'll be here today, just 4 hours later than perfect.
Stay tuned because I've got a 12 miler next week!
