Almost there...
Saturday morning I ran again. I did a half-5k, because my heart wasn't in it, and because I wanted to reserve some energy for vacuuming the gym afterwards.
My time was 14:29, which, doubled to a 5k, is under 29 minutes (but we all know it doesn't work that way). If it did work that way, I could just multiply it out and say that I could run a marathon in four hours. Or run across the country in under three weeks. Ridiculous. I will never run further than 5k, and I'll be lucky to do it in under 30 minutes on Thanksgiving.
So, tonight (Monday) I will run a mile as fast as I can, and do my Day Two workout. Upon the wise advice of my friend (and run-day companion) Ryan, I will take it easy and not work out or run on Tuesday or Wednesday. I will eat a pasta meal Wednesday night, get a full eight hours of sleep that night, arrive early and stretch, and then go for it!
I am just DAYS away from never running again! Woo hoo!
Tonight I will return here to report on how fast I ran the mile...then you'll hear back from me on Thanksgiving, with race results and reveling.
So I've got to ask...why are you responsible for vacuuming and cleaning the gym? Is that part of your membership fee or do you really just insist on running in a clean environment??
ReplyDeleteJean and I provide janitorial services (aka "a sanitation engineering consultation package") in exchange for use of the gym (and in Jean's case, the services of a trainer). It's a great relationship. :)
