like his puppy, he loved his balls more than god so it was time to leave the priesthood.
today's run was cold but i loved it after the first mile. i ran really well and felt good throughout. as i write this, i have some soreness in my left hip and leg. i know i pushed it running but it feels so good to do a little bit more each time. crazy eh?
any hooch, it is winding down to the marathon and i have not been running like i should on my scheduled training days. this has been mostly due to weather but also due to work. i missed tuesday this week due to the cold rain. yuk. i missed wednesday's beer run due to work and the weather was great. i still went to the pub and got a beer and a pizza. today, i was determined i would run even if it was cold and raining.
when i walked outside to go to the gym to change, it was cold, cloudy and rain drops fell on my head. by the time i was out for the run, there was no rain but a cloudy 46 degrees. i only encountered one other runner and one walker. i practically had the world to myself for an hour. it was great.
i ran with my ipod. i kept playing the same tunes as it was helping me keep pace and stay focused. traffic stopped for my ass when i crossed roads. i felt like a king.
for the last mile, i was hoofing it. i hit a pace under 8 min/mile. one would think i was in a race today. running that fast for me, it's worth a little soreness for the night.
