Well, I have made it through to the last long run on my schedule. I completed 22 miles this morning under threat of severe rain. Temperature today was 77 degrees with 86% humidity. It was a fairly tough run but I managed to get through OK. I guess you could say the wind up from Hurricane Ike helped keep off the effects of the humidity. It almost felt cool and it even rained occasionally. Ahh!
After I was done, I enjoyed breakfast with some of my running buddies. Actually went to The Original Pancake House. Boy, they serve a whole lot of bacon. Four big, thick salty pieces of bacon. Just the right combination of salt and protein. And pecan pancakes, too. After a short trip to Starbucks I went home, suffered a 20 minute ice bath, took a shower and napped. The perfect way to start a rainy Saturday.
Now, three weeks to St. George. It's taper time.
Discourse on running, fitness, healthy eating. May have long stories about all kinds of running gear like Garmin watches, running sleeves or just musings about what I find in the running community. Try to keep you guessing.
