10 miles avg 6:51 pace. I met Melanie B at her house in Lehi. She ran a few miles before because I only wanted 10. Well, I wanted to do more, but my quads still had a couple of tender spots the day before and I really don't want to injure them.
I woke up with a sore throat and nasal problems. I think I might really be sick. My husband and son are both sick right now. Just over a mile into the run I thought, "I'm more tired than I should be. I must be sicker than I thought." Then Melanie said, "We're going fast," and I looked at my watch.
We planned to go 7:15 pace and we had a 6:44 pace average going. We tired to slow down several times and werern't sucessful until the last mile. At one point I thought, "What is wrong with us!" Brent says Melanie and I are too much alike, we both run 1/2 step ahead of whoever we're with so as not to slow them down. My quad only bothered me a little bit at the end. I sat in an epsom salt bath and rubbed out my quads when I got home. Now if I can just get over this head cold I'll be good. |
