What a beautiful morning for a run. It rained most of the day yesterday and drizzled most of the night so this morning everything was fresh and clean. The temps were actually still quite mild for this time of year too so all the conditions for a good run were there...for some reason today I just didn't have any energy. The humidity in the air made everything wet and when the sweatshirt gets wet everything starts to get cold. Had planned on doing a few more miles than 11 today but just couldn't muster the will power. Will do a little more running with the kids this afternoon at the kids marathon portion of the Las Vegas marathon so that will help the total a little. I guess it is just one of those days were you don't feel good.....at least I hope that is the case.
Time: 8:58/mile
Afternoon:
Ran/walked the kids marathon portion of the Las Vegas marathon with some kids from my wifes school where she is a PE assistant. The distance was a little over a mile and between running and walking it took us about 16 minutes. Rod Dixon (1972 bronze medalist in the 1500 M) was there to lead the race. We had a good time and the kids received some nice goodie bags and t-shirts, just like running the real marathon. |
