I wanted to get on the treadmill with the heat and humidity (and potential for rain) outside a d just generally get closer to work since I had a 9am walk through.
This morning's run was challenging since after a warm up, I was supposed to do three minutes at 10:30-11min/mile pace and follow that with nine minutes at a 9:30-10min/mile pace, topping off the set with 1 minute of walking. This was to be done five times. I'm a relatively slow runner so those were challenging paces after being tired and having done that insane yoga sculpt class... My back hurt!
I showered and changed afterwards and opted to pony tail my insanely gross, wet, dirty hair and get to work before the walk through. I basically refuse to wash it 2xday!
After that, I took a longer lunch and ran another 1:20 over lunch at one of our Loop properties with a small gym facility. During this run the three minutes was the faster pace and the nine minutes was the slower pace. Of course this is all "technically speaking" because I had some issues following it as well as earlier in the day. Also, there wasn't much recovery since I had just run 4 hours earlier!
After that run, I showered again- this time washing my hair- and headed back to the office. I worked until 6pm at which time I walked over to Grand/State streets to meet Hoagie for a couple drinks. This was a guy I haven't seen in 15+ years who I dated almost 20 years ago in college. It was fun to catch up and hear about his life and family today.
