First Double Digit Run (this training season)

This is from my Daily Mile entry. (I like tracking my running there since I can attach my shoes to know better when to replace them.) So for my Sparkies that are my friends there...or Facebook...or twitter...haha! AVERT your eyes! Or just know you've already seen this and it's not deja-vu.

I hallucinated horses...and that was just in the first 15 minutes. I got so excited to be running up on some horses that I clapped my hands and squealed. The closer we got, the more my husband laughed harder as my horses morphed into a group of walkers. Sad. This week compared to last week...we only made it out about 30 minutes earlier. The heat was there. More of a breeze this week. Last week I had straight G2 in my one bottle and halfG/water in the other. This week, Nuun in one and water in the other. Not sure about the Nuun - Kona Cola flave. (Ok flavor, like very watered down soda. Which is fine since I don't like it not watered down either.) I also tried out my Shot Bloks - Margarita flave for the 3x salt!! (Nice flavor but man those things are tricky to get down.) Shouldn't have tried them in the same run cuz now I'm not sure which of the two almost made me throw up twice.

PLUS, I had a lot of factors not in my favor. Shorter week, shark week (worst day), dropped a filing drawer on my foot week, still catching up to current training plan week, stressful-busy work week, had some fits with insomnia week....I think that pretty much sums up my week.

HowEVER, we added 1.68 miles ANDour pace was one second faster this week. Shabby? Not too.
