Decided to take Sunday off what with the 0430 wakeup and the not getting to the hotel till 2200 after a great time with a friend from college and her family.
I hadn't really noticed the extra 5000 feet of elevation till I got on the treadmill. The treadmill? you cry., Why not run outside in a new place? Because of the plains thunderstorm, with associated lightening, says I.
Which made for an unpleasant hour in a small, hot, humid room running on the treadmill
6 miles in right around 60 minutes.
Ran the first 1 -1 1.5 at between 10 and 10:30, decided to run .5 at goal marathon pace (8:48) just to remind my legs what that might feel like. Oh. My. God. Slowed back down to 10:30 for 2 more miles or so and the tried it again. Much better the second time. Finished the last mile in 10 or so.
I'm still pretty tapped, and I think I'm dehydrated, so off to drink water and sleep. And take it easier on the run tomorrow.
