9:20 am 24 degree. Average pace 10:20 There wasn't a wind chill when I started but I could feel it. When I got home I checked the weather and it is 29 with 21 degrees as the wind chill. I wore my committment skirt over my pants. This was great b/c I had those two big pockets for my water bottles. I hate the fuel belt around my belly so this worked out well. Plus I only drank about 6 oz and a sip of the other bottle.
I have a question about GU and marthon training. For 1/2 marathon training I don't even use them. But I have been bringing them along (I didn't eat one today) just to taste them and see which ones I like. At what point should I eat one during my marathon training? Right now I feel my mileage is too low to bother. Usually I will jsut take a gulp of one and save it for next week or something. Again that was just to try it to see if I like them.
I KT taped my leg up two hours before the run. I alcoholed my leg before applying . It is falling off right now...but I think I was having placement issues and parts of the tap split down the middle. Bla blah blah.
This was a weird run so I will just tell my splits and tell you what went on during them
1:10:43 afterthis mile I wanted to cut off my leg
2:11:44 I started walking after every mile
3:11:31
4:10:34 stretching and walking
5: 10:52 Hit the midway point and was feeling better about only having to go another 4.5
6:10:04--I thought duh...why am I not Chi Running
7:9:14 and then I started thinking of Haikus
8:9:42 thought man I should probably slow down
9: 9:28 thought if I make it home by 11 I can start back on homework again. So I sped back up.
My knee really hurts
Marathon training is hard
Chi Run realy works!
My knee still hurt during chi running. But it was different. Like it was a better hurt. Not a worrisome one.
I was a little worried about this week. I only got 18 running miles in but i did do 2 sessions on the elliptical and weight video. So really I worked out 6 days this week. I think if I counted 3 miles per elliptical seesion then I would have 24 miles this week.
I'm going to go soak in the tub and read...Happy running! and I hope all did well on their races today! I thougth about you when I was out there! |
