I woke up when the alarm went off at 5:00 am. Got myself dressed & had a bowl of rice crispies. That's the only thing I can manage to eat in the mornings. I didn't hydrate properly this week. As some of you may know, Jackson is having issues with its water. The color & smell of the water doesn't offend me, but, the stomach upset does. Anyone else in Jackson notice this??
When I walked out to the truck to head to Lakeshore, the humidity hit me. It was only 5:30 am! I knew that 12 miles was going to be a struggle. And, was it ever! By about the last 3 miles, I was so tempted to hitch a ride back to the park and managed to walk the rest of the way, ignoring the interval beeps of the Forerunner. My hands & fingers were so swollen--that's a first. But, I didn't get my usual Achilles tendon soreness, so that was good.
I had 3 small buttermilk pancakes for breakfast and a slice of bacon and a tall glass of milk when I got home. I took a warm bath (not the usual cold since I wasn't too sore) and took a nap. I guess next week (or is it week after next??) we'll be half-marathoners!!!
Happy Training Everyone!

Jealous of your nap. I took a cold shower, got a haircut, played with the kids, I'm now taking a break from cleaning the house before I go grocery shopping. Wanna come help? :D Last 2 miles almost killed me today. I'm all for running in the middle of the night, it's so miserably humid.
I'm going with you to breakfast next time! You just made me hungry! Jealous of the nap, too!
It was tough, wasn't it???!!! I thought you did great though! Keep up the good work!
