Tonight was my tempo run, but for some reason I went to the gym thinking that if I felt good enough, I could just do my long run. Then I wouldn’t have the thought of getting it done weighing on my mind all weekend. Since my running group doesn’t meet this weekend, it’s inevitable that I will be worrying about when I can get it done until it is actually done. I guess I’m just a worrier.
(If just one of you gets that, then I’m a happy girl.)
Once I got on the treadmill, I was feeling pretty good. It’s amazing what a Vampire Diaries rerun, air conditioning, and eating 3 cookies, and Ice Dream, and a cauldron of Haribo Raspberries can do for a run. Here’s what it looked like:
| Mile | Pace | Incline |
| 0.30 | Walking warm up | .5 |
| 1 | 10:00 | .5 |
| 2 | 10:00/9:49 split | .5 |
| 3 | 9:49 | .5 |
| Pooping | Moderate | 0 |
| 4 | 9:49 | .5 |
| 5 | 9:41 | .5 |
| 6 | 9:31 | .5 |
| 7 | 9:23/9:14 split | .5 |
Total miles: 7.25
If it wasn’t for my “break” after mile 3, I would have finished those last couple miles and known why Elena didn’t turn into a vampire after all.
But it was getting so late and I didn’t want to be at the gym until 10:30. So, I guess I’ll have to try again this weekend which I was hoping to avoid.
By the way, I’m extending my streak of terrible movies. Hubs was actually willing to finish Rango when I reminded him of all your blog comments. So we put in another movie that was borrowed from a friend.
After 45 minutes of this movie, we turned it off and wished we had finished Rango. I also wish I had 4 hands so I could give it more thumbs down.
