Yeah! Here's my splits
46:43 = 11:40 mm
44.23 = 11:05 mm
Better than my 12 mm last week. It's an improvement and I'll take that! And next week will be just a bit longer of a run.
I don't know if I should attribute the better time to:
1. I was trying the Ultima electrolyte drink instead of plain water or
2. training or
3. both
I think I'm going for Door # 3!
No squats though. I tried, but decided it would be better for my ego and my legs to just give them a rest after 8 miles!

Sluggish and not stepping up to the plate
Wow. Today I just feel sluggish. Work is SLOW. Nothing to do all day. Very boring and extreme worrisome, but there's nothing I can do about it. Not really.
I'm planning another 8 mile run tonight, the same route as last week. But the thing I have going with Carol, Jane & Kari where we journal ALL our food, our exercises, our alcoholic intake, etc has really made me accountable for certain things. This is the 3rd week in a row that I passed on the weekly donuts a rep brings in. OMG they looked so good this morning. Chocolate cake donuts with chocolate frosting. YUMMMMYYY. But I passed.
I'm rambling today. Hopefully my run tonight will be better than last week. My legs are still a bit sore from yesterday's squats. I did 30 at home and a total of 70 at BC. We're supposed to do 350 this week (see above). That's 250 more to go. What's my goal for a pace tonight? HMP + 20. That will be roughtly an 11 mm pace. Last week was a consistant 12 mm pace. I don't know if this is doable. But I'll try to at least have a better time than last week. Then when I get home, squats.
Wow-really don't want to be here today. Can't get out of the funk. Hopefully tonight will put me in a better place.
