A little tired...

We all ended up not going to a movie last night and went to "Crash" after my long run. Bad movie, very, very unrealistic, but lots of action. Reid liked it from a "film making" perspective. This morning I went for my long run. I'm getting sick of the cool weather. I'm so glad I went biking yesterday when it was warm. On the run it was very windy and I chose to run the hilly number one side road.

I did an out and back and had the wind at my back on the way out and against me on the way home. I have no problem running against the wind, I actually enjoy it and it never slows me down. At the turnaround I was at an average pace of 8:18 and by the time I got home I got it down to an overall 8:02. My heart rate was great today, no walking to keep it down and it was tough to get it up to 140 bpm. The only problem I had was that at the 14 mile mark my left calf started to tighten up. I'm sure it was because I wore a different brand of runners without a slow transition of doing shorter runs. I went with the Saucony's because the ball of my left foot is still bothering me and I thought it might help by giving me more padding. It feels "hot" when I run and is more of a slight discomfort rather than a pain.

I ate way to much popcorn at the theater. As I'm writing this blog I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach. I'm also a little tired in a good way. My plan is to watch golf and have an afternoon nap. I'm not a golf fan unless Tiger is playing, but the soothing sound of the announcers talking quietly makes it so easy to fall asleep. Reid finished his latest video and I used me as the actor for the "neck breaking" seen as per attached.
