8 miles in the morning.
12 miles in the afternoon.
I made sure I got plenty of sleep last night. I did another 8 miles at 6:00/mile pace. The runs in the morning are feeling much better now. The update on the bruise from the race is that it is getting bigger. Yeah! I hope it isn't anything serious. I can't wait for the Spirit of the Marathon movie tonight. Katey is a trooper for going with me. She is a great support!
I had the distance runners do plyometrics this afternoon due to the extremely cold weather. They have been great for going out in the cold stuff everyday.
I came home and found out much to my chagrin that we had no water. I thought our pipes froze but came to find out a line in Ogden Canyon broke. Yikes! I did a 4 mile warm-up and then hit 4 miles at 5:19/mile pace with a 4 mile cooldown. I ended up going to my cousin's house for a light "sprinkle" to get clean and then headed off to see "Spirit of the Marathon." I absolutely loved it! My favorite parts were when the old guy was talking and then when it showed Deena Kastor coming in and winning bronze at the 2004 Olympics. She was crying and very emotional. I will not lie. I choked up a bit because I can only imagine how hard she worked to get to that point. The whole movie really got me pumped up. |
