Running streak: bathroom

Another great (thought difficult for me :)) run with Dean, who remains as strong as ever, or at least as much stronger than ME as ever. We did San Juan's from first parking lot, then back up to the Y plus return. Only negative, other than my not quite there yet fitness, was that I had to stop at the restroom at the 11 mileish point and I don't like having to stop during long runs. Overall, happy to have completed the mileage and very happy to have logged another run with Dean, who, by-the-way, has lent to me a Garmin watch he had so no more excuses for me not to stay on the training plan.

Feeling healthy, A/C working at the house again, have a Garmin as stated, on pace to run 499 miles in July, so...all is looking up!

Wasn't as tired this morning, though my legs weren't spinning with any speed, so to speak. Felt OK I guess, though had to stop for a bathroom break, which I never like to have to do. Anyway, glad I got in a little hill running and think the overall mileage for a work-week day is pretty good, but still not an impressive effort, so perhaps I am just fatigued? I did think about the fact that if I feel like I felt this morning...just slow and tired...I would probably fail in my effort to complete the 2012 LMI course in under an hour three weeks and 2-3 days from now as is my hope, but I guess I won't worry about that right now, just have to keep training. I feel fine, the streak goes on.

Wasn't feeling it this morning, not surprisingly I had to stop at the pool complex to take a bathroom break, but I knew that was a very real possibility since I ate a giant hamburger last night -- to Becca's credit it was tasty and shaped like a heart.

Started out sub 8:30, then slowed considerably as a result of need to use the bathroom...finally at about mile six I was able to get the bowels to pull back the trying to escape turd and then sped up to fend off the inevitable drop, which worked for almost the rest of the way. Was fairly miserable during the middle of run, but felt good after. Marathon plan has begun, though I'm not signed up for any marathon.
