Tiring Mid-Day Run

By RKB on June 9, 2010 3:14 PM | No Comments

Today's five mile run started off great, heading out from the house during lunch (thanks to unexpected auto repairs that forced me to work from home all day) toward Bredesen Park, then one loop around the park, and back home for just about five. Somewhere around 3.5 miles I just lost energy, motivation, whatever. Wasn't out of breath, no joint pains. Just got pooped, I guess.

The good news is that even with a mixture of walking and running over the last mile and a half, I still finished the run in better than 10:30 per mile. And I got my mileage in, for the day, too. Good, bad, or otherwise, as long as I'm adding mileage, I'm still headed in the right direction.

Today's mileage: 5.2 miles in 54:00.
Total mileage: 59 miles.

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
