6 miles feels like a long way for a tuesday. it felt pretty hot - about 70 degrees F, 28% humidity. it was really nice that the sun was shining, but after a while i actually caught myself wishing for a little rain to cool me down. not much, just a little. although running in the shade was pretty good when I could find it. hot enough that i ran in just shorts and running shoes. but seriously? have you never seen a scrawny old white guy with love handles, gleaming in the sun before? the amount of catcalls and honks and yells i got was appalling. I tend to tune out while I'm running, but this was excessive. I'll just pretend that I was getting encouraged in my efforts. because if i stopped to try and pick a fight everytime somebody said something out a car window to me yesterday, I'd never get my miles run. who knows? I had my music turned up. maybe I was getting propositioned by supermodels, not derided by idiots. I didn't listen or look, so I'll never know. it felt tough to run 6, but i ended up maintaining a steady pace. it seems pretty fast in retrospect. I think that once i turn around, I tend to run a little faster because I'm headed home. avg pace was 8:19 min/mile, 7.2 mph.
days where i am on the go from 5:30am until 10pm are tough. up early, work all day, longish run, fast shower/clean-up, quick dinner with E (A and T were at the gym), then to little league to watch a game, home, supervise homework, crawl into bed by 10. tough days.
4/30/14. run. coffee. orange. nuts. grilled chicken breast. mongolian grill. apple. granola bar. tortellini. broccolini. chocolate. granola/milk. lots of water.
