Sunday's Late Evening 4.2-Mile Run
I was going to tack this on at the end of the earlier report today of Waverly's 4-mile effort.
However, I don't want to take away from her accomplishment one bit! 4 miles is the longest she's ever gone at once! (Well, that's not counting walking NYC in the summer of 2001. We guessed about 10 miles that day.)
I can gripe, moan and complain about a lot of reasons why I'm not running well, but the bottom line that I have to take responsibility for is my weight. Yes, I know it is hot and humid and yes, I know I logged a lot of miles in the last 48 hours. But my weight is one thing that I can control and honestly, I just haven't been as diligent as I need to be. I'm sabotaging my workouts with cheap calorie hits such as fast food (primarily breakfast on the run) and Mountain Dew. They've got to go and I'm not getting enough water. So I'm going to painfully put that here (and bore some of you), but it might be the only way I can tackle this thing. I can do better!
I have a later flight in the morning (9:05 am) to Indianapolis so it will give me time to get to Bally's early and get on the scales. As painful as that is going to seem. I predict that it will show 240, which will really make the fact that I can get close to the low 29's (6 weeks ago) pretty remarkable. However, I think if I could get down to 200, I could get into the mid-26 range.
Here are the numbers from tonight's run: Loop 1 (22:41.94) and Loop 2 (24:55.98) for a 4.2-mile total of 47:37.52 or a pace of 11:20/mile.
