An absolutely beautiful morning greeted me today. After a nice up of coffee and light breakfast, I was out for the week's long run. Since this is a back-off week, I was only looking at ten miles. Although I felt good, it was good thing it was a bit short this time. I'm definitely still a bit tired from yesterday's race tempo, and Thursday's brick. (As I write this, I just got up from a nap, and am looking forward to another). But, as I said, it was a good run. I never went too hard, and again, from just a rough estimate of time, my pace continues to get a bit quicker at these easy intensities. You'll never find me complaining about running faster on a 15 degree morning this late in October. These are the days we live for.
Run: 5 miles @ 145 bpm, 5 miles @ 150 bpm
This afternoon, I was back at Endurosport, to do some fitting for next big purchase. It's still to be unveiled, and they still have some adjustments and tweaks left to do, but, man! I can't wait to bring my new baby home. (Oh, and I picked up some flippers and a pull-buoy too. But that's not nearly as exciting.)
Today was, indeed, the type of day we live for. Warm, not too windy and beautiful autumn leaves falling on the road. Spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThe suspense regarding your new horse is killing me!

ReplyDeleteYou think it's killing you? Imagine how I feel. Next weekend, though, it should be all done, and ready to come home.
