As has been our on-and-off Tuesday routine for more than a year now, I went running last night with Buzz. Gavin has been joining us lately as he tries to get back in shape. He’s a natural runner, though, and now that he finally bought running shoes (which — duh — fixed the leg problems he was having running in cross-trainers), I think he will soon decide that I am far too slow for him.
We ran two big laps and one little lap, totalling probably 6.6-6.7 miles in all, in just over 1:16. It was a bit depressing to go so slowly after my great 10K on Saturday. I’d never experienced post-race sluggishness until last night! My legs were so incredibly heavy, and stayed that way for the first 5 miles. I didn’t feel like I was running; it felt like I was merely slapping my feet against the ground in an effort to keep from stopping completely. Only at the very end of our run did they start to loosen up, and I felt better then.
A quick summary of last night’s American Idol: I still think most of the girls are boring and out of tune. The guys are far better.
We had a Yuri’s Night meeting last night. I am woefully behind on organizational stuff for the 5K, and I really need to catch up this week. However, at the least, I finally got registration open, so if you are in the Houston area and are interested in running a 5K on April 9, sign up!
i can’t believe you ran that many races, wow!! whew. maybe one day i could run a few but i don’t know if i could ever catch ya. thx for the comments.
