Today I debated whether to run long (on the taper) or short and then long tomorrow. I opted to run long today. I usually run every other day and my plan is to run again Monday, then Wednesday, then not at all until Saturday's race.
The weather was right nice out - about 60 and mostly cloudy. Took the Lake Virginia round the lake route and felt tired and slow. Surprisingly it wasn't until the sixth mile that I began to feel a rythmn worth keeping. My time was okay and my heart rate was lower than the last time I went around. That means I still have capacity for better time and endurance.
After the run I finally got the ever-loving oil changed in the car and had a fantasic hamburger at the Coyote Grill. The rest of the day was all about replacing the dead pool pump motor. I only disassembled and assempled the thing three times before I got it right.
So - question for the readers: When your t-shirt drawer gets too full from all those race collectables what is your criteria for the keepers and the ones to go to the Salvation Army/trash?
Can't seem to part with too many as of yet, although I do have quite a collection. Another group I belong to trades them. I've debated making a quilt but too busy running for now....Dawn
ReplyDeleteI haven't had enough races yet for the race shirts to be a problem. Although, I do seem to have accumulated alot of T-shirts from other places. Still haven't figured out what to do with them all.
ReplyDeleteI still don't have enough running shirts either... ahh, beloved running shirts, especially when they have names of faraway places on them. I like Dawn's idea of swapping running shirts from cool places...
