Six Miles, Three Noisy

North St Paul Community Center, six miles with the rude Jazzerciser leader shrieking into the mike at maximum amplified volume for the last half of the distance. How on earth can people exercise directly in front of the speakers and yet preserve their hearing? It’s bad enough way up above on the track where we run! We usually try to avoid running there while Jazzercise is making their noise, especially on weekends when the Community Center staff exercises no control at all, but because of today’s inclement weather we went early and overlapped some.

Anyway, six miles in 50:16, pace 8:23. I felt good today - the natural pace after the first warmup mile was about 8:20, a little faster than two days ago. Perhaps a day off is a good thing! Splits: 8:51, 8:22, 8:18, 8:21, 8:17, 8:06.



Today's breakfast: Organic oatmeal, organic nonfat milk, organic walnuts, dragon fruit, banana, Don's nut/berry/fruit mix, chopped cocoa beans.


Soups a few days ago: Curried organic squash/carrot/sweet potato soup, chicken soup with organic carrots and other veggies, shredded organic cheddar cheese.


Dinner a few days ago: Beans & brown rice, Sunshine's nutty dark bread with Danish dill havarti cheese, organic vegetable medley. No doubt a nice dark brew went with this ...
