I decided to take a break from running in the heat on Wed and then couldn't make it out Th morning so I had back to back days off. I woke up a little late this morning but was able to squeeze in 4.1 miles via two laps around Day Pond before work. I felt pretty sluggish at the start but decided to see what I had in the tank after two days off. I put in a 6:42 second mile and kept miles 3 and 4 under 8 minutes for a decent run. I'm sitting at 12.9 miles for the week, one of my lowest totals heading into the weekend in quite a while, and I don't have a super long run scheduled, so this could be my first sub 30 mile week in months. We'll see what I can get in tomorrow before we hit 90 degrees again.
I completed miles 819-822 (unsponsored) this morning. Tomorrow's run will be a special one; I'll hit mile 826 which is sponsored by Mrs. Garrity, who was my second Mom from 7th grade through high school. I will think of her telling me to drink plenty of fluids though I should really drive down to her house and put away groceries if I really want to relive the good ol' days.

Kevin, you never complained when you brought the bags in... you were a good boy! Mom would tell you to stay hydrated!!! I'm glad you are running 826 in honor of Katie's birthday... we all miss her! Good luck and stay cool and hydrated. Bridget
ReplyDeleteHi Bridge--
ReplyDeleteDefinitely had the Garrity's in mind as I hit mile 826. Thanks for letting me run in honor of Katie, a very sweet soul who loved running as much as anyone I have ever known. Tell Mrs. G thanks for the hydration tips!
