If anything read the last highlighted part for some fun times!! Plan was a little speed, like 4 x 1 miles repeats with 1/2 mile rest BUT NOPE. Just DID NOT feel like it at all when I got there and ran a four mile warm up. SO, I improvised. First of all, I got to the rec right when it opened. 530am. Next to me was a guy running roughly the same pace. He started out faster (I couldn't see his TM but he looked to be working harder). I started out at 8:49 (all miles 1 %). And to reduce the BOREDOM phenomenon that comes to me on the TM when running long-- I have like ADHD with MILLS--- I increased the pace 0.1 mph every 1/4 mile. Pretty much like this 8:49, 8:41, 8:34, 8:27, 8:20, 8:13, 8:06, 8:00, 7:53, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19.......THEN SUDDENLY at 3.75 miles my TM turned OFF. WELL....I had noticed the guy next to me had just cranked up his TM pace to definitely over a 9mph pace and with me at a 7:19 pace THE CIRCUIT bailed on us. OUR tms were plugged in the same outlet. I hopped off ENERGETICALLY and talking to the guy about how the TMs do that with sudden surges to over 9mph and he said he was almost to 4 miles and I said I was too. BUT what was funny to me was that he was HUFFING and puffing and dripping sweat like no other. AND could BARELY talk to me. I was hopping around like a rabbit trying to help the situation. Finally under a deep breath he said "I will go tell the front desk". As he left I just went to an open TM that had my OWN socket. I started off where I left off. This time I had a great view of the track and got to watch several of my friends circle me a dozen times. Ahhhh not as bored now. So to carry on with my TM story I continued like this...7:13, 7:08, 7:03, 6:58, 6:53 (those were 1/4 miles) then 7:41 for one mile, then 1/4 miles again 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13, 7:08, 7:03, 6:58, 6:53, 6:49, 6:44, 6:40 (actually down to 6:11 around the last bend), then 7:41 for 1/2 mile. Then 7:35, 7:30, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13, 7:08, 7:03, 6:58, 6:53 (actually down to 6:18 pace for most of it). Did I ever tell the blog how much I love NUMBERS? I remember them very easily. I could tell my friends what times they ran for all their half and marathons, 10ks... etc... if they wanted to know.. VERY odd huh? Anyway Visiting Teachers here. AP for 12 miles = 7:28. BTW STEROID SHOT HEAVENLY--- MY FOOT is SO HAPPY!! Hence why I am running better. However my left foot neuroma is not feeling the love. The pain has somewhat dissipated but I can tell I favor how I position that foot to prevent it worsening. Darn thing. I absolutely do NOT what another steroid injeciton. But I don't want surgery either. Hopefully when I switch to my Altras (zeroed shoes) my neuroma will stop acting up. The shoes are for Christmas. I have them but I can't wear them until after Christmas since they will be wrapped under the tree : D. Silly parents. Oh yah did 52 push ups. Perfect form of course : D. YOU KNOW YOU ARE COMPETITIVE WHEN.....you go to a work Christmas party and with a TMJ disorder you are one of two FINALISTS in the drink down an ounce of breast milk (EGG NOG in this case) from a baby bottle with a nipple on it of course. I have two BRUISES on my tongue from my teeth clenching the bottle to hold my tongue in place. I could hardly chew almonds this morning. OUCH!! My jaw is spasming!! BABIES ROCK!!! They have the strongest tongues and jaws!! |
