FW week 4

Today's long run was good. The program called for 5 miles but we did a little more. Sharon was keen to get in a few extra so we met early and ran more. So after all is said and done I ran 9.5 miles. I felt good today but when I look at my Garmin my heart rate was 6 beats higher than it usually is on long runs. Could have been the heat. Could have been the speed. Could have been a combination of both. I also seem to be a lb heavier today than yesterday. I'm not sure why that is but could have been the chocolate I ate yesterday afternoon. I need to do a better job of remembering to eat the shot blocks. When I push Marin, I seem to forget to eat them. While that's ok for the first few miles, I certainly suffer on longer runs. I did have some help today with Marin. Edwin and Lex pushed her for part of the run. I think that helped me a little. Sharon, Aileen and Felix are doing great (btw - they are the usual suspects). I realize now how much I look forward to running with them.

Today, as usual, I am starving! I did eat after the run at Deli Lane with the usual suspects. Not sure why but I had an upset tummy afterwards. It's mid afternoon now and my appetite has certainly returned. I'll be riding approx 48 miles tomorrow on the bike so I'll get in some good cross training. Thaaaa that's it folks...for today!
