8.92 1:14:23 141/160 Recovery LH Track - supposed to be 2x4miles @MP, but I thought today would be better run in recovery mode. I only looked at my watch (for HR and time when I finished each segment, to make sure that I actually hit the lap button. 1.875 16:11.4 134 0.25 2:04.8 138 1.0 8:07.2 146 0.75 6:02.0 151 (should have been one more lap but I needed a POP) 0.67 5:23.0 142 - POP stop in the middle (oh, thank heaven for Tesoro) 0.25 2:08.0 137 (to finish last mile - 8:08) 1.0 8:12.7 143 1.0 8:14.1 143 0.25 2:04.0 142 1.875 15:56.1 140 Very wet and a bit chilly in the rain... I also had bathroom issues today. Even though I hit the Tesoro 35 minutes into this 1:14 run, I still had to hacer pis (like they would say in Argentina) twice after that. The last time, I was on the road back to my house and figured everything was wet enough any way, so I waited for a break in traffic and took care of business. The break wasn't as long as I had hoped and a truck passed me from behind. Apparently the driver caught a glimpse of the action - as I passed him later (stopped in 1st day of school at USU traffic) he rolled down his window and said I had made his day! After making sure he didn't catch anything on video, I finished my leisurely run. *A note from Saturday's race: I remembered from my practice Half a few weeks ago that about 3:40-4:00 minutes in from the Half mile markers were the full mile markers. It was really nice to be able to gage my time without having to wait to the end of a mile to see how I was doing. I suppose some people might be upset about additional markers, but I think it would be nice if they marked the marathon course in 1/2 mile segments!
