60 Min Run

I had a big day planned, so I had to get my run in first thing in the morning. Those of you who know me, know that I am NOT a morning person. Add a run to the mix, and it isn't pretty. Luckily, Greg wasn't here to share the "fun."

I woke up, fed the dog, and hit the pavement for my run. I didn't realize how windy it was outside. There were 20-25mph gust coming from the north. My biggest hill is while I'm heading north. This is also 1/4 mile into the beginning of my run. NOT fun!

Add in the fact that I didn't eat breakfast, nor did I have my coffee. Just plain BAD! I ran about :30 seconds slower on my mile. UGH!

I toughed it out though and did the entire 60 minutes. It felt so good once I was finished. One big workout behind me and it was off to my busy day. Tomorrow should be better with a long bike, a swim and some gardening thrown in for good measure. Plus, there will be storms tomorrow! Great for the weather geek in me :)

Great job, Deeann! Wow, that's a long, tough run.

Seriously, you should keep stuff really easy and short this week so your body is just tweaking to move on Sunday. We're now less than a week out. No more long stuff. Promise? Pretty please?

Enjoy the break 'cause next week starts RAGBRAI training. :)

Can't wait to see you in a few days!
