Beer and Buttermilk

More news from Wounded Knee:

Mon 4/17 - Ran 10K on treadmill
Tue 4/18 - Did not cross train, however... missed a bus and walked about 3 miles in the heat and humidity in the wrong shoes and carrying luggage. Big mistake! Finally called a cab for the rest of the trip. Since when do buses stop running at 5 pm? Found out later I developed a big blister on my left big toe. I also reinjured my left IT band due to the uneven terrain. When I got home, all I had to quench my thirst was beer and buttermilk, so that's what I drank.
Wed 4/19 -Forced myself to run 10K, but it was hell. I was eating yogurt and strawberries all day, and topped this off with a salad with very acidic dressing. By the time I got to mile 4, I had to borrow a blue recycling container to put by the treadmill since I felt like throwing up. I was doing hills, and thought my pace was pretty easy. I'll have to be a bit more careful with diet next time. Finished 6.5 total miles in 55 minutes (it took 51 for the 10K)
Thu 4/20 - Rest. Should have played hockey for cross training, but work schedule would not allow it.
Fri 4/21 - Rest again! ...and no guilt.
Sat 4/22 - Long training run. Thought it was supposed to be 20, but relieved to find out only 80 minutes. Did about 9.5 miles in 78:18, about an 8:15 pace.
Sun 4/23 - Ran a 10K race in 48:28. Not very fast, but the course was very hilly and grassy, and I was tired from day before. Those are my excuses. But the bright spot is that this is my fastest recorded 10K! A 7:48 pace is not bad for a 10K, oh and the shirts were pretty cool, a sexy dark maroon. And my sis broke the 10 minute mile on this race. Hmmm, pretty sneaky, sis..
