So the VACATION is OVER! I can't believe that I only ran 11 miles last week!! Wow I really slacked off, but hey now I am in for the long haul until St. George. I guess that I will still try and kill my turkey this week, and then run in the evenings. We got hoime from St. George and went to a BBQ and then we came home and I mowed the lawn and then headed out for a evening run. I left the house with no real plan, just run and see how things felt. I started to get a side ache on the left side of my stomach, at about 1.5 miles but it wasn't bad enough to stop so I kept on going. It left at about mile 3 and then returned just before mile 5. I ran out past Osborne Corner and to the bottom of the Tree Road Hill and then turned around. I thought that I would try and tempo 2 miles and see if that would get rid of the side ache. Mile 6 6:09, side ache is still there but going away. Mile 7 5:47, side ache is gone and I am feeling good, this pace didn't feel hard until the last .25 but overall I felt fine. Finished the last 3 miles at a good pace and was surprised at how good I felt after taking a week off. I hope to get a schedule built this week for St. George, I really didn't have a plan last year so I hope to get something built so that I have something to follow. ave pace for 10 miles 6:58
