Couldn't get to sleep, woke up early. Love those days. So got up at 3:30 and headed out to meet the guys at Matt's at 5. Matt lives 2.75 away so I ran there this morning to meet Matt, Jody, Reed and Scott for 10. It was nice being warmed up before we started. Did a couple of tempoish miles in the middle. Had to pull it back a little with the outside left quad still having a large knot in it and for the sub 6 mile the ache on the inner quad by the knee started coming back. Hope to have a lot of miles to run this week, so toned it back for the last few. Ate a bowl of cereal before I left and no gu's but did a Nuun and some gatorade slush during the run which barely got me back home again. I felt like I should have gu'd up at some point the last few miles, but I figured I'd get home okay and fueled back up in hopes of a 2nd run this afternoon. Ran 7 with Wes at lunch out to Utah Lake. First half sucked the farther we went. Was starting to bonk, by the time we hit 3 I was done. Took some calcium pills, S-Caps and honey stinger chews. By the time we hit 4, I was feeling good again. |
