Roughly 8 Mid-Day Sunday Miles
I get this e-mail this morning from Rick Cook: "I'm going to run for 4 to 5 hours tomorrow all over The Woodlands starting at Shadow Bend Park. If you want, come on down, I'll get you fired up. I plan on running very slow. Between 12 to 14 minute pace."
To save the long story, I wasn't able to get up there until 1:30 p.m. (after which Rick had already had an hour and a half in.) I figured at that pace I could get in some warm weather miles even though my legs were a little tender from the Friday night-Saturday morning (and after getting back late from the UH-Rice game.)
We had a good time catching up on everything and probably went 7 miles together (I figured 84 minutes at a 12-minute per pace) and then maybe got at least another mile or so after the heat was getting the better of me (and I resorted to walking the last bit in).
Better than no miles at all (which I've had too many days of recently). Tomorrow is not going to be an easy day at the FiredUp 5K. In fact, if I could change the registration to somebody else in the morning, I would do so (as I have a couple of stories for Footprints in October to chase.)
And after Mr. DirtRunner finishes the Arkansas Traveller 100 in October, his next mission will probably be to continue to get me to consider the ultra world, which he calls "the dark side".
If I don't pursue my multiple marathon attempts in mid-November (Oklahoma, Georgia) and early December (Tennessee, Missouri), I may run Sunmart with Bill Dwyer and company.
However, I haven't implemented a formal strategy at anything at all yet.
