Time to Buckle Up
Yesterday I learned what the summer will be like. It's all about fitting in miles when and where possible. I had my mind set on getting in my long run while in Cottage Grove to visit my mentee. As a result, I opted to run 10 miles around Cottage Grove lake before heading to her soccer game.
After soccer, my mentee and I walked around town, smelled the flowers and went through this old covered bridge.
Before I knew it, it was time to head out for my second run of the day along the lake before I got back on the interstate. These legs pounded out 5.5 miles. Don't mind the blurred photos - I must have smudged the lense with my sweaty self.
I was pretty happy with my matchy matchy Garmin and Nike running top.
This flurry of activity resulted in a fairly tired, hungry sass. But the day was busy so I drove back to Eugene to help two friends move. Luckily, neither of them have a ton of stuff.
By the time I was finished, it was 4 pm and all I could think about was pizza. I headed directly to our local gourmet grocery and ordered their take on a Hawaiian pizza and a six pack to go. I'm pretty sure the checkers realized I was in that 'so tired I'm grumpy' stage. It happens to the best of us.
STATS
Run #1 : 10 miles @ 8:19 pace
Run #2: 5.5 miles @ 8:04 pace
Total miles: 15.5 miles
Total time running: 2 hrs 7 min
Total servings of Barbara's Cheese Puffs consumed: ~ 3
I'm slowly realizing just HOW MUCH running I have ahead of me this summer. Time to buckle up and hang on for the ride!
