8 MILES ON THE TM

2:37pm - got to the gym after a great lunch with my parents and the BRfamily. We ate at a local restuarant called "Buffalo Grill" and I ordered a Buffalo burger with cheddar cheese. Decided I would eat that, then rest for an hour and a half before I hit the gym for my long run. Well, was supposed to run 12, but got to gym late and got in as much as I could before the gym closed, 8 good miles. I was a little concerned about eating before my run, as I usually don't, but I didn't eat breakfast this morning as I was running around doing stuff with the kids, and I knew that I had to eat something.

To my suprise the meal didn't bother me during my run. Not at all. But I did wait 1 1/2 hours to run LOL

Set the TM to 5.6 for the first .25, then bumped it up to 5.8 for the next .25, then went from 6.0 - 6.5 for the next 6 miles and for the last 1.5 ran at 6.0 Really felt good.
