Left, right, left, right, left, right… One foot in front of the other. 37 miles for me in 6 runs over 48 hours but more importantly, a strong reminder on calorie intake. During the 2nd leg of our Saturday morning run I was hurting for energy. Stopped in to the Harris Teeter grocery and purchased some expensive soy milk drink and a banana to supplement the Powerbar and water I was carrying. I proceded to sit down to a hearty meal. Without thinking I ate it all. The next 9 miles were spent with wrap-around side stitches and all the fun of undigested food in my belly while exercising. Martin and I put in 18.3 on Saturday in total up some pretty rough hills in the Ballantyne area. Here’s the breakdown
- Friday 1pm: 5.0 mile run – hilly neighborhood perimeter run.
- Friday 6pm: 5.0 mile run – hilly neighborhood run
- Sat 5:30am: 3.4 mile run – Rea/Ardrey Kell run
- Sat 6:30am: 6.0 mile run – Colony/Rea/Providence area
- Sat 8:10am: 9.0 mile run – Providence/Ballantyne Common/Rea
- Sun 11:00am: 8.0 mile run – hilly Fort Mill run
I fully expect Martin to have put in near 80 miles last weekend. I am proud that I hung in with him for just over 18 miles of it. Next weekend the goal is to get 7 runs and 40 miles in…going to have to fit it in between golf rounds which might be tough on the handicap.
