Friday Afternoon Treadmill
First things first. I found out who the semi-hard core female runner that I saw on Sunday and Tuesday at Bally's in The Woodlands.
Her name is Rachel Lee Vanderwal, 44, of The Woodlands, who said she races about once a year (typically one of the Chevron Houston Marathon events). Vanderwal was the 6th female in her age group (30th overall) at last Mother's Day's 5th annual Mother's Day Title 9K in Boulder, Colorado with a time of 43:12, a 7:44 pace. She said she's a junior high teacher and a mother of two whose time at the gym on the treadmill is her "quiet, getaway" time.
I was on the snide the last two days with a trip to Jackson, Mississippi - and a couple of stresses (not counting a new project) to deal with.
I didn't try to makeup a day on the "MOD" training schedule; however, I went an hour steady at 4.4 mph, got some water to drink, and then stepped back on the machine for another 50 minutes at 4.5 mph. I should have pushed to a nice even 2 hours, but 1:50 looks awfully nice for a Friday afternoon.
Now, I get to shower (oops, it is almost 6 p.m.) quickly to go see Waverly sing two solos - "Good Morning Baltimore" from the musical "Hairspray" and Taylor Swift's "Tim McGraw" - at Twin Creeks Middle School's Pop Show.
I'm sure Dad will shed a few tears tonight!
