racing jack's generic tri on sunday so i needed to get my long run in early...there is no way that i would want to do it after having raced...and it being 105 degrees on sunday...so friday...my off day :( was it again...i posted to the board that i was running and there were a bunch of people that turned up to run...a few for the first half and one for the second half! that was great...
met, liz, elizabeth, logan and blythe to run the 7mile loop on the trail with the out and back to barton springs bringing the total to 8miles...picked up val and headed out for a second loop...in the other direction...always fun to mix it up even just a little bit on the trail...was supposed to do the second loop faster than the first...i thought that i wasn't going to be able to but did by some miracle pull it off by a whole three minutes...
felt much better than last weekend's long run...one because there was no riding of the bike before...two because it was not 10am but 6am...three because i was better hydrated....four because i was better fueled as well...seems strange...i had chocolate soy milk on the way there...not oatmeal like i have been...i think the liquid was able to get into my system faster...so that is good...i like being able to make a change and see/feel the difference...
soaked for a few minutes in the pool...that was totally what i was looking forward to while struggling..getting tired...on the back side of the trail coming up to mopac...and it was so worth it...
home to rest...shower...and get ready for indian food with amy, j, and vishal at bombay express...it was a delicious meal...and nice to hang with friends...
don't really know what happened the rest of the day but at some point we had a bit of a fiasco with the sprinkler system...a coupling loosened and water was shooting everywhere...yikes...we had to turn the water off at the street fix what had come undone...and turn the water back on...it was a mess...but i am sure someday we will laugh about it...and as my mom said today...at least we were home and not on vacation or something...yikes...that would have been a huge waste of water...
