Successful Ten Miles

Yee-haw! Longest run since mid-January, getting back in the groove! Ten miles in 1:28:56 for an overall pace of 8:54. No pains whatsoever. Steady as she goes, not fast, but that’s the way to build the base. Hopefully a 12-mile “long run” next week.

Splits: 8:59, 8:47, 8:58, 8:48, 9:12, 8:47, 9:01, 8:49, 9:04, 8:31. Water & brief walk after each even mile, gel after mile 4.


The food, by the way, is all prepared by Sunshine. I assemble it on the plate, take the picture quickly, then sit down and devour it!

This morning's breakfast: Irish oatmeal with dried cranberries, organic strawberries, Don's nut/fruit/berry mix, organic walnuts, blueberries, organic nonfat milk, banana, Hershey's dark chocolate, pure organic pomegranate juice.


Tonight's dinner: Moroccan lamb tagine (potroast) with organic brown rice and organic carrots, cucumbers in organic red wine vinegar, roasted organic beets, good brown ale.
