Happy Monday! This weekend was good. I worked at the PT job on Saturday (all day) then went to a local running store for some advice. We spent a good 45 minutes there, talking to a very helpful associate. He recommended that I try KT tape for my knee and hip and he said I'm in the right shoes (he watched me run on the treadmill) but that I should get a new pair before the half marathon. Ugh, $$! They say to get a new pair every 4 months or 500 miles, which ever comes first. If I don't run 500 miles in 4 months, why get a new pair? Lol.
Saturday night we took Saro's daughters out to an Asian restaurant. I had a yummy pad thai dish.
Sunday I was off and we went for the 8 miler around 10:00. My results are as follows:
Distance - 8 mi.
Pace: 11:14 min/mi
Duration: 1:29:53
I had some energy jelly beans before and during the run. This helped with the nausea for sure. I'm going to invest in a small handheld water bottle. They're about $15. Just to sip during long runs - my mouth gets super dry.
Tonight I think I will rest. The calves and shins are pretty sore.
Have a good day!
