Week 8: Strength and Mid-Distance

Merry Christmas!! Today was a longer run. I went out for right at 42 minutes. The course was an out and back from my dad's house to the Food Lion down the street. Total distance was right at 4 miles with a nasty hill at each end of the route. By the end of this run I was full up on my hill work for the week and my legs felt like burger. I finished strong up the hill to my dad's house, but afterwards I was spent.

Immediately after the run I had a Simply Nutrilite Joint Health Twist Tube and a 4 hour nap. For dinner we had prime rib, potato casserole, green beans with ham hocks, white house rolls (man I ate a lot of these while we were there) and an XS Gold Energy Drink. For dessert we had chocolate cheesecake squares, some ice cream and pecan pie. Yes, I know I abused the sweets, but they were sooooooooo good!

Tonight I slept HARD!!
