I can officially run eight miles....yippee.
I finished all of my runs last week except for Saturday's three miler. I know, I know, but I had company in town and a golf tournament on Saturday that basically drained any and all energy I would have had to complete that run. Playing golf during the hottest part of the day is really a dumb idea. Our team did not win, and I all I got to show for my efforts was a freaking sun burn.
I ended up running in the mornings on Thursday and Friday to get the runs completed in tolerable weather. I also did my workout at the Y on Friday morning to get all my weightlifting in for the week.
The long run of the week, eight miles, was pretty boring. Due to my company, and due to the fact that we had to go to Mobile that evening I decided to go ahead and complete my run at the Y. Eight miles on a treadmill is dreadful. The only good thing about the run was me watching the U.S. vs. Brazil soccer game.
According to the treadmill I completed the run in an hour and ten minutes, and I burned 1500 calories. I tried to hone in my Nike Plus but it did not correctly calibrate the distance I was running, again (unless of course I sprint at a 12:00 minute mile pace). I guess I need to map out an exact one mile course and try to calibrate it on land.
I do not know what the long run of the week is yet, but I will post it when I get my new calendar tonight.
BTW...tonight is the last night of trail running, hells yeah.
