12 miles today...
well....yes...it IS hot as hell out there....!!!...i think sometimes i see that old devil out there too....cause it sounds like he is trying to discourage my friends.....and WHO does he think he is....!!!!??????..........
Alice and I went at 5:30 this morning...well...5:45 cause you know who was late... had to drop my 12 yr old off at a friend's house...(TRUE FRIEND)...anyway....the heat was tolerable until about 8 am...and then it is a struggle...i have been getting up at 5 or 515 and leaving my house at 5:30 to run..i can tell it is going to have to be early...especially if I need to run a long one....my neighbor has decided to be my 'trainer'..and she says it is way too hot for anyone to run.....and i told her that 26 miles is not going to JUST HAPPEN!!!...she is a big wimp.....!!!altho...she is 85lbs...and I watched her have both of her children without one bit of pain medicine.....still....she doesn't know what she is talking about.....she doesn't know that running has kept me out of the bed...and in the road.....and helped me to avoid some REAL stinking thinking......she doesn't know that this is not an option this is what i need to do to stay healthy.....mentally and physically....and she doesn't know what it is to be a MARATHONER!!!!.....soooooo...i just do what mom told me to do a long time ago...just smile..and cross your legs and do exactly what you want to do......good lady, my mom....anyway....
back to this morning....Alice and I left Mark's office..discussing how we were dreading this run because of the heat......but managed to get off to a pretty good pace.....and then.....about mile 7 Alice started having a pain in her knee....and rather than keep going.....decided to wait for me to run around the lake a few times......and go on and walk back............i can tell you...it is MUCH better to have someone talking and running with..just to keep up the brain thing...and help you to figure out where to go......sooo we ended up doing 12 for me..and 10 for her......which...if you look at the positive, we almost did a marathon between us.........we both thought it wiser to not OVER do....so here's to you Alice..hope it is better by now....
..and so you know..if you start at 5:30....most everyone will be done by 8:30 or 9:0 so, it is not soo bad......after that it is hot....
I have this dang headache....AGAIN...and i drank and drank yesterday and today...i DO NOT get it.....why...?...and don't tell me to pour water over my head ...there has to be more to it than that........I have eaten...some...but not as hungry as i thought..but made sure to have some gatorade...and a bagel from beagle bagel...and a really good cookie....just don't understand...anyone got anymore ideas.......right now..i am considering chinese...i am dying for some fried rice..and maybe one of those sushi rolls.....hmmmuh...sounds good..bye..and ya'll...don't give up.....we have gotten too far into this...!..
