It is 8:01 pm and I am in bed. I ran the 1.5 miles today and became convinced towards the end that I might die or throw up. Neither happened nor came remotely close to happening. At one point, I attempted to pump myself up by telling myself that there was ONLY 1 mile left. I did, however, do some intervals in there of 5.3 mph so I felt like a bad ass. I worked until 6pm, got home, waited for the boy to go running, then we made a delicious dinner of turkey tacos that I had with a glass of wine. Now, I feel very relaxed, and exhausted, and my legs are pleasantly sore. There is a decent chance I will fall asleep by 9:30.
I have decided that I am going to ride the Ironman on April 27. The boy is riding the 100 mile version (on a singlespeed, because he is crazy), but I think I will try out the 30 mile one. This does mean that I need to add some cycling a couple of days a week to my training to get back to the 30 mile riding range and to be able to endure 2 hours in the saddle.
I made a new workout playlist for running today and was happy to run along to songs I haven't heard in awhile. If you have any ideas for additions, let me know! Here is some of what is on there:
Whitesnake -- Here I go again
Apotgyma Berzerk -- Kathy's Song
REM -- Bad Day
Dj Someone or another -- Unchained Melody
Squirrel Nut Zippers -- Ghost of Stephen Foster
Run Lola Run -- Wish Kom Zu Mir
Beastie Boys -- Sabotage
Rolling Stones -- Paint it Black
