Best Weekend Weather So Far!

After all the rain we had last week, I did decide to rest on Friday since I was doing 10 miles on Saturday morning. I woke up at 6 am to get out the door by 6:30. I didn't eat anything but made sure to drink lots of water. The weather was about 50 degrees which seems cold for a run but once you get started it's perfect. We waited for Becca's friend, Liz, to meet us at our house. Liz is actually the one who talked Becca into doing the marathon in New Orleans and me into doing the half. She showed up and we were ready to go.

I mapped out a course using mapmyrun.com and made sure to include a few hills since we will be running in Nashville on the 27th! Our pace for 10 miles was about 9:06min/mile and we finished in 1:33:15. I did not eat any gu chomps or anything during my run and that would explain why I felt kind of sluggish at mile 7. Not eating breakfast probably contributed to that feeling as well. I ran in my red Nike Pegasus 29. Sunday, we did 4 miles. Pretty uneventful but a good run to keep my muscles loose.

For my post-long run meal I ate these Hawaiian Bread Sandwiches that my friend Chris makes for parties. They are delicious!!! I use virginia ham, swiss cheese, and mix mayo and dijon mustard. I spray the tops with a little I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and pop them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes!

I am resting today but I hope to go to my first track workout at U of M tomorrow!

Must See TV
Louisville v. Michigan for the championship. I believe this will be a good game but I'm pulling for Michigan. As a Memphis fan, you know why I'm not pulling for Louisville.
