Hi, everyone!
Sunny -- seeing all those trucks and smelling gas would have totally freaked me out. I worry about you running alone that early.
As for me, I've had an interesting weekend so far. I left work at noon yesterday because my migraine was so bad. And it kept me up all night. When the alarm went off this morning I was so tempted to stay in bed. DH suggested I skip my long walk this morning. I was scheduled for 7 on my revised schedule (moved stuff around so I wouldn't have to do 7 next week 2 days after getting my stitches in). I forced myself to go and am glad I did. Considering the migraine and lack of sleep and using a fanny pack for the first time with a powerade bottle and cell phone, and considering the bitter cold, my splits weren't too bad overall 7.2 miles in 1:51:13 for a pace of 15:27):
mile 1--15:39
mile 2--15:18
mile 3--15:02
mile 4--15:29
mile 5--15:19
mile 6--15:33
mile 7--15:22
I learned a couple of things today:
I can do this even with a migraine and various other "issues" and less than 3 hours of sleep.
No matter how cold it seems when you start out, be sure you can easily peel off layers.
I don't like "gu". Blech! Will stick with cliff shots and carry my own on race day.
I can use a fanny pack with a water bottle and not end up chafed.
I'm sure there is more, but my brain is mush.
Off to take more head meds and get on with our busy weekend. Hope everyone else is doing okay!
