Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

I went out for a long run on Monday in preparation for the Pensacola Marathon and I bonked.
My nipples got rubbed raw because I forgot my bandaids, My thighs chaffed due to holiday Chub Rub. My feet hurt, my lungs did not like it at mile 11 I said forget it and headed home. The run wound up being 15 miles, but that was all I could do. I have been low on energy for the last few days and I believe that is associated with some of what is going around. It has not knocked me out, just down a notch or two. Putting away the 30 boxes of Christmas wasnot an easy task.

I managed 10 minute miles but that was it.

Today I ran at lunch and did my 4.3 miles in less than 40 minutes and was grooving pretty well. Perhaps I am on the road to recovery! I have to admit I was running partly out of anger as my usual TUesday night Ultimate game was in jepardy as the Department of Parks did not want ot give us a lighted field. The Nerve.

Anyhow, I am growing out my Go-Tee beard again, we'll see how it looks. I can assure you it looks white and I feel old wearing it..... I will suffer it for a little while as Robia seems to like it.

I have a 1/2 Marathon this weekend. I have no idea how fast i'll go
9 min miles = 117 minutes or 1:57 so I will be shooting for under two hours, that seems reasonable to me at this juncture.

There we have it, and I do dig the video thingy too!

Be well
