training week

brief recap: 80 miles, as

Su: 18mi (8:11)
M: 8mi (9:02) with a chest cold.
T: AM 7.5mi (9:02), PM 4.5mi (8:20), thunderstorm cut short the 12-miler so I had to make it a double
W: PM 9mi (8:13) with Ray and super head-coach
R: AM 11mi (8:55) incl 8 of the slowest 100m strides ever
F: 10mi (8:55) beautiful weather, but I was tired
Sa: 12mi (8:25)

And on into next week: this morning I ran 18 at 8:08 pace with Albert; the other half of our Sunday pack was absent. There was nice dry weather still hanging around from the recent cool front, but I had massive annoying heartburn which made parts of the run pretty unpleasant. My stomach was so sour I even bypassed the usual post-run breakfast, and I was cold in the 72-degree weather (goosebumps even). So I drove home, climbed into bed and slept until I was warm again. Much better now, and I was even able to eat some junk food a little while ago. I'll live :-)

Other exciting news:

Bought a pair of training shoes sight-unseen and ran 12 miles in them yesterday. Quelle brave!

SuSE 10.1 was released Thursday! I will wait for everyone to report on bugs and what have you, then probably upgrade during the next 3-day weekend.

I actually get 3-day weekends!
