Day 362, 3 To Go

December 28, 2013

Only three days left!  As I get closer, I get more and more paranoid that I am going to get hurt.  Every time I step out of my room, I encounter a minefield of children's toys: balls, dolls, cars, and the worst...Legos!  One errant step on a Lego will not only cause intense pain, it will ruin my last three days!  If you don't believe me, go over a friend's house who has children and don't look where you are walking.  You'll eventually step on one and you will realize that the pain is worse than childbirth (not that I would know that personally, but I've heard...)

The problem with being paranoid is that you end up making what you are afraid of happen.  A self fulfilling prophecy, so to speak.  I just need to relax and try to enjoy the last few days.  I know I have been struggling lately, but since I am going to take a few weeks off, I will probably miss running, so I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Here are today's numbers:

Time: 30:00
Distance: 3.16 miles
Pace: 9:28/m
Max Pace: 6:12/m
Calories: 316
Avg HR: 124
Max HR: 146

I am so slow this month.  I am on course to have my best month as far as miles is concerned, but I definitely won't have my fastest month.  Sometimes, though, long and slow is the way to go!  Don't believe me, ask you wife if she likes is fast and quick or long and slow!

Today was an early run and Honey actually Rollerbladed with me today! It was nice to have the company and it help stave off the boredom.  Hopefully she will come with me again tomorrow.

Run for Life!!
