Event: Georgia Navigator Cup
 

Not a great day. After sleeping poorly for, oh, maybe the last ten years, I dragged myself out of bed at 10 AM. Ate canned mini ravioli for breakfast as I watched the robins (at least 8 of them) frolic in the yard. That was cool.

Shortly after, I followed the "morning activity" with a long nap with Roger. Well, I didn't sleep, but I also didn't actually do anything with my day until 1:30 PM. At that point, I left the house for a run.

Today was so different then Wednesday and Thursday. Oh, the weather was even lovelier (52 F), but my breathing was so bad. Ugh. Toughed out a mile (including a long downhill) in 11:04, and then I walked the rest of the way to Bluemont Park (2 miles).

Breathing was acceptable after a 40 minute warm up, so after I turned around, I ran 2.5 miles back (445 443 447 434 500) before walking again.

Miles out were 1455 and 1355 and cool down with long uphill was the rest.

Had a haircut today, which necessitated another shower when I got home to get the itchy hair off of me, so I decided I may as well run first and get my money's worth. And, if that wasn't enough, then the fact that it was a beautiful 45 degrees out put me over the top.

Ran the first 2.5 miles, catching a 60 second break at the light about 1.1 mile into the run (10:54), then ran the next 1.4 miles in 13:51, this time making a mad dash to catch the light so I wouldn't have to wait for it.

Walked home - 15:00 for first mile up the hill and 7:15 for the last half.

The usual conversation with myself "I don't want to do anything - ever...just do something, dammit!!" workout on the treadmill. Warm up and then one minute at each .1 mph up to 6 mph, and then back down. Cool down. My lungs feel better in the warm basement.

Eye exam today. All the same.
