I had a fantastic run last Thursday in Charlotte. I did not run Friday because I didn’t want to have to pack sweaty clothes when I flew to Atlanta. I did not run Saturday (though I did ice skate) because I planned to run Sunday and Monday. I did not run Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday because I was sick and just wanted to sleep. Then I did not run Wednesday because I was shooting soccer games.
So, it was with a feeling of slight desperation that I forced myself to squeeze in a treadmill run last night. After six days off, and still recovering a bit from my cold, I decided to take it pretty easy and ran three miles, one each at 5.0, 5.3, and 5.6 mph (that would be 12:00, 11:19, and 10:43 per mile).
It was a nice, relaxing run (well, as relaxing at the treadmill can be) and I’m glad I fit it in. Afterwards, I enjoyed dinner at Mely’s with about a zillion people including Nancy and Graham, who had a layover in Houston on their way back from the “Becca’s family goes to Ecuador for Christmas” trip.
And in other news, I quickly counted up my…
