Rain or Shine the Road is Mine

No run.  treadmill is busted and Paul is on the way to Singapore.

Ran 10.2 miles in 1:17 and change.  The effort was out of whack with pace because I had a hard time breathing.  I have somewhat of a sore throat, but that doesn't usually cause me having a hard time breathing.  Sometimes I felt like I was being suffocated, sometimes I was able to control it with a 3-3 or 2-2 breathing pattern, and sometimes I was fine without focusing on my breathing.  There was some high effort portions that's why I am putting in two miles at marathon pace.  I did the SF golf course loop two times, and then added some at the end.  I then measured the loop with my car.  Exactly 5 miles a loop.

Not enough sleep.  Nothing diet cherry pepsi can't cure :)  My treadmill is still broken so I met with Josse and we ran from her home before I went into work.  

 My stomach was way upset, like gas bubbles in the high part of my abdomen.  I think it is soda/caffeine/lack of sleep related. 

 It was great to run with Josse and catch up with her. (Thanks for letting me use your shower and for working your schedule around me!!!!!!)

 I have a trip to CA, driving out to Salinas Sunday, back on Tuesday due to my grandmother's death.  So I am more busy crunched for time than ever.  Paul is still in Singapore.  Life is crazy!

Happy Birthday to me!

I gave myself a treat and slept 5 hours and slept in until 3:30am.

I met Josse in Provo for a nice longish run. It was really enjoyable. In retrospect I could have worn shorts but I didn't.  We went from Home Depot to the lake and back on the river trail. I had some stomach cramping but nothing like yesterday.

Thanks for meeting me Josse!

 Thanks to all for your supportive words regarding my grandmother's passing.  She was ready to move on so I don't see it as being that sad.  I am excited to see all of my family at the funeral, but the prospect of the drive there and back is overwhelming.

Treadmill broken, so had the option of running up and down my cul de sac a gazillion times to get in a couple of miles or sleep in a half hour and I chose the latter.  My throat is sore. 

Woke up 15 minutes late so had to park when the SF group was one mile along on their run.  I felt good at times during the run, at others I felt like I was just hanging on.  Jamie came and it was nice to catch up with her and my other running buddies I don't get to see nearly as much as I used to.  I convinced Hal to do pretty little road.  He said we were doing some miles right about 7 minute pace and were under 7 for a while (he had a nike pedometer on).  On tree line we saw kent and holly so I turned around and ran with them since I needed more miles than Hal did. 

So I think I got some good paced miles in there, but the miles are approximate, and I don't really know my pace.  I have been without my gps for 9 days.
