Good Morning

Well....I did run to the church but not sure if "run" is the right word. Very slow time because I walked more than I've ever walked during a run before. Ate my breakfast too close to leaving the house. Big mistake. Should have eaten at least an hour before or just not eaten at all. Then my feet felt so hot by the last couple of miles I almost stopped to take my socks off! Never had that happen before. I wore those dark blue socks I bought out there at RRS so will go back to those white cotton ones you gave me for Christmas a couple years ago. And I didn't do a full 10 miles because I just didn't add the loop through the Dresser Industrial Park that makes it 10. I just couldn't do it. 8.7 miles. Pace was 11.10. Worse than the 1/2 marathon pace. And when I got home and got on the scale I weighed exactly what I weighed on Saturday morning!!! How can that be? So, not a very satisfying run at all.

Hope you're having a better day.

Oh, yeah, that sounds like a frustrating run. Kind of reminds me of when I tried to do my first long run before the marathon. I can't remember, was I going to do 15 or 20? Well, I did 10 or something like that and I walked. A lot!

I don't know why, sometimes that just happens. Although, I'm with you. I sure don't like to eat pre-run. Just makes me uncomfortable and my stomach hurt!

How funny about the socks - how was the heat today?

I don't know that my day was all that much better!

It got hot yesterday afternoon then. But I started painting the shed and fence anyway! Just have the green trim left to do but big thunderstorms coming over us now so probably won't get it done today.

I've heard about your thunderstorms. Weather is good!
