Silly Sunday

August 29 2004

7:30am Running room in Outremont
Temp: 15 degrees C humitdity 6 on 10
What I was wearing? Run tank, shorts wright socks and Asics Nimbus V

Distance 23 km
Path, mountain, TMR back to the store.
How I felt: PF was flaring initially, stress fracture on tibia was tender.
I had taken 3 days off to nurse the wound
Pace: started off slow and talking ended up doing 5:20-30s and was talking at the same time. So much energy. Freaky.
Drank Frost gatorade

Problems: I got lost. I was leading the pack and I had taken a right when the group took a left. I was running in the zone where everything fades into the periphery and then only think I could focus on was the horizon. I was running 4:40s and barely felt it. Even if the group had called out to me, I don't think I would have heard it. I only stopped when I saw highway 40 (the overpass) coming up. Nuts :(

To nurse the stress fracture, I stretched and swam after ward for 30 min. It helped a lot
