4th Day of Training


4th "Training" RUN
  • Day Count: 31 days until race day
  • Mile Count: 4; link to map depicting our course-http://bit.ly/MBG68U
  • Time Count:  quick pace, most likely in the 7:35 per mile range 
  • Puke Count:  2x, 2 hills
  • Wii Mii:  Better balance at first, but then got destroyed by the peripheral vision game
  • Wii Age:  Initially, 39, tonight, 44 -- UGH!
  • Body: I feel ok, not so good with the ChiRunning techniques today, but the tension in my neck and shoulders is gone so I'll take that as a good sign
  • Mind: Starting to have a slight panic attack over the fact that my second leg starts off with a 2 mile incline..oh, and this leg will be run in the middle of the night in pitch black darkness!!!  I foresee several pit stops to puke, a potential bear chase or attack, Jeepers Creepers jumping out and kidnapping me, and various other horrifying scenarios.  Damn my vivid, wild imagination!

Room for Improvement
  • Try to relax and mentally prepare
  • Spend more time running gradual incline type hills, with a mouth guard!
