We had the parents over to celebrate our anniversary today. I grilled some great New York Strips from Hy-Vee. Later in the afternoon, I needed to run. I'm building up to the 10K at the first part of June. I was hoping to use the bike path to my advantage and run to the K markings.
Well I had Lori drop me off in an area that I thought had them. But when I got there there wasn't a post. So I had to walk for awhile and then I found a mile posting but not a K. I knew there was one somewhere nearby so I kept walking and finally I found the 4K and started running. Soon I passed the 3K and then kept going expecting to find the 2K and then I was going to turn around and head back. But I just kept going, instead finding the 1.5 mile marking and then the 1 mile marking. Ugh. So then I just turned around (like Forrest Gump) and ran back to the 3 mile marking. So in all I think I ran close to 3.7 miles or something like that. I ran for 35 minutes so that I about right. I'm not running for speed at all. I just hope that I will be able to run the six miles. It think I could have done 4 today if I was frustrated with the markings. Anyway, next time I will know better and I will just run from the 3 mile mark to the 1 and then back again because that should be about 40 minutes. Sorry for the long ramble!
