Coming Home...running all day...

It was a late night last night.

I went to a UFC match, then bar hopping. Having way to much fun and plenty of cocktails along the way.

Saturday was also my "free to eat anything I want" and the hot dog at the UFC and the greasy late night hamburger platter tasted sweet.

I got to bed around 4:30 am and was up by 9:00 am.

I was in no condition, nor had the time, to do my long run. It turned out the weather wasn't that nice anyway, so I didn't feel that bad.

When I got home it was 9:30 pm. I watched the end of the Super Bowl and then went for my long run afterwards.

Surprisingly I felt pretty good before and during the run.

Before I started the run, my heart rate was in the high 50's bpm, which is incredible considering the abuse I put on my body the night before.

My run was 1 hour 35 minutes and I averaged 9:04 per mile, which was 30 seconds per mile faster than last Sunday's long run. My heart rate was around 128 bpm for most of the run.

Another late night! And I need to get up at 6 am to drive Reid to his hockey practice.

At least I achieved my goal of keeping up my training during a very busy business trip.

The training ended up totaling 7 hours over in 3 days, plus my hour and a half run when I got home.

Mission accomplished!
