it's sunday. that mean it's long run day. it is also spring but still cold. i slept in hoping for a warmer run. it got down in the 30's overnight. i waited until 8:30 am and it was still 37 degrees when i headed out. i wore shorts and long sleeves. once i stepped out on the porch, the sun was out and it felt warm so i left my hat and gloves on the porch. that was a good decision because i was sweating in mile one. (smile)
if you recall, i had a crazy run last sunday on easter. on later analysis, i was under an influence of drinking. the saturday before, i put down two bottles of bubbly. not with friends but by myself. add to that i did not eat anything. i had been enjoying the warm day being artistic drawing in the street and building mobiles. i should have eaten something. i woke up sunday determined to run and a sane person would have reevaluated the situation. but me, i would have run the 8 miles naked if it was not against the law.
under the circumstances, i was barely legal being jesus and running in the rain with just a loincloth. this week, i have been trying to evaluate what happened. i only know i made a good decision not to drive on saturday but i will never do the no eat thing again. clothes are still optional.
today's run was good. shit, i need to run 10 miles for the next race. i ran 10.96 miles today. i got water and gu at 8.44 mile. i can do this. i need to stay healthy and injury free for the next two weeks.
