Friday through Monday Recap
Ok, I've been a bit remiss on updating my blog. I was a little frustrated because my foot still hurt and I didn't get to run at all. Knowing there was a race on Saturday, I didn't want to be hampered by an injury.
I got to Tom's house in Fort Worth around 1:00 PM and we hung out and worked on our Rock-N-Relay props. Hopefully, I will have some pictures for you after the race next week. Anyway - we made it to downtown Fort Worth around 7:30 and hung out at the Civic Center for an hour before the race.
I started out waaaay to fast - my first mile took 7:56. My second took 9:13 (which is where I should have been the majority of the time). My final mile took 10:24 - and I was seriously out of gas. I was shooting for a sub 28 minute run, but ended up at 28:24. Not a bad time, but 24 seconds slower than I wanted. I think if I would have run that first mile at an 8:30 pace, I would have done much better.
I have decided that I do NOT like running night races. I think I have more energy and more excitement for morning ones. But, this was for a good charity and it was neat seeing everyone run with the chemlights.
Afterwards, we stopped at the Flying Saucer and had a few beers.
We had our hockey draft on Sunday Morning, so I didn't run on Sunday at all.
Monday was a scheduled rest day, so I didn't run today either. Yea, I'm behind on my miles....
I started the run at 8:30 PM on Saturday and burned 603 calories.
Today's stats:
Ran: 3.10 miles
Weight: 249.5 pounds
Here's the summary and path I ran today:
