Jan 5th: These miles are definitely having an effect on my body. A definite Tortoise run today: 6.21 miles in 61 minutes and 49 seconds. Good thing I'm not racing! Did the bike path run but in the opposite (east) direction from Carmel Valley on the 56 not quite to Camino Del Sur. Definitely a day off tomorrow!
I'm not even going to mention my hamstring anymore because it is going to be tight everyday!
Met some friends at Ballast Point for a beer after my run today. (By the way, that will be the only brand of beer I drink this year, best beer in town if you ask me!) Great to see old friends!
This is definitely the 1st time I have ever run 5 days in a row and at more than 7 miles/day, WOW! Looking to get a good one in on Sat. to finish week 1 strong. Thanks for your support!!!! :)
I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Jim Valvano before cancer took him away from us before a game @ UCSB in the late 1980's. You you see what kind of guy he was below but he was best known for being a great college basketball coach, winning the Big Dance in 1983. I feel kind of bad now because the last thing I said to him was, "Good luck, you're going to need it!" The Gauchos did go on to win that game by double digits and Jimmy V was quoted as saying, "It was louder than thunder in there tonight" thus the Event Center was aptly named "The Thunderdome" Will always love Jimmy V!
