Recovery Run x3: Morning-Noon[HOT!]-Evening – 17 miles
July 14th, 2008Morning Run, 6am start. felt great. 45 mins. I called Tommy to see if he wanted to run at lunch time, but instead I accepted his offer to run in the Evening. I ran at lunch time anyway – 25 mins, 88 degrees which actually felt like 99 degrees because of the humidity.
I extended the offer to the guys, but Steve had plans to get a massage, and Seth had to re-field day with tonight. So it was just Tommy and me. We had a comfortable conversational pace and talked about our plans for the rest of the year with running. We are both starting to get back into marathon shape. Tommy had a disappointing cross country race in Feb., and stopped running for a while thereafter. His work kept him busy enough to keep his mind off running, which is a good thing because now he’s recharged. I just want to stay injury free and healthy until Naha Marathon. His main race will be this year’s Marine Corps Marathon.
I stopped at Baba Park for a drink while he continued to run out another 2 miles. On the way back we both felt drained from the heat. Total for the day – 17 miles. I just want to survive the mileage now so I have a good distance training camp with FreeRun in August.
