10 Miles and Nothing to Say

by dv November 12, 2006 No Comments

Ran ten on Saturday. Better in retrospect than at the time, though my legs are really dead, especially after I ran 5.5 with Jessica today. In fact, everything below my hips hurt right now … knees, calves, ankles.

But looking back it was a lovely run. RunTex Riverside to Lake Austin Boulevard, up Exposition to 35th and back. 8.26 and 8.25 on the first 2 miles, 6.25 and 6.20 on the last two, and 42.30 in between. Or thereabouts. Pretty much all ran togther on the way out, then runner/rocker dude attacked some hills on the comeback and was starting to leave me when he pulled up abrubtly.

Those last two miles were death. Just a blur of breathing and turn-over. I kept feeling myself let up, want to stop and quit, but everytime I did I forced myself to pick up the pace (which really meant “maintain” the pace). The last mile was especially tough. I really wanted to run negative split and it was all I could do to pick ’em up and put ’em down. I really had to focus on trying to keep a fast turnover. Hell, I had to focus on trying to keep any turnover. My legs had little in them by that point. But it was a good mental test. And I really liked that run. And this was a boring blog.

Oh yeah, I was up late on Friday night (maybe contributing to some saturday run fatigue?) moving gilbertsgazelles.com to a new server. Have I ever mentioned that email systems are the bane of my existence both at work, at home and everywhere else? Seriously, only Beelzebub himself could tolerate wrangling email.
