I didn't listen to my tired legs and set out to do 7 miles with Katie this morning. Well, we did it. But there was a helluva lot of running/stopping/walking involved, heavy on the walking. 7.11 miles in 1:24. It's really tiring running/walking with her. It's hard for me to find a rhythm running with her not heeling properly yet. One time I set out to pick up my pace and she darted in front of me trying to get to some animal in the bushes on my right. I almost face-planted.
My plan was to add one mile a week to "our" long runs to acclimate her. But I don't know if both of us can handle 8 miles next week.
After our "run" I drank my recovery drink.
I used to drink chocolate milk, but it just seems gross after a run. So I like to drink a yummy concoction of milk (1/3 cup), oj (2/3 cup) and a half scoop of protein powder. It tastes just like an orange julius. Yum!
When I showered after my run I noticed all these red spots on my torso. WTH?
It doesn't look that bad in the picture but those spots were really red and itchy. They've since disappeared, but I thought it was weird. I blame my allergies.
And just because I love her gap-toothed smile and sense of fashion ...
