Flower Boxes, Tired Legs and Running
I have been taking advantage of a post-marathon week by catching up on my list of “honey-do” around the house. My wife has been asking for some larger flower boxes to hold some hedge plants that have out grown the old boxes. So for several nights and on Saturday I have been sawing, pounding and varnishing and my wife has three new rustic flower boxes. I’ll try to get a picture up this week for the curious.
I went for an 11K/6.8K run on Saturday evening. My legs were sore from standing and working on a concrete floor the whole day in my workshop, so my pace was poor to say the least.
After church on Sunday my wife didn’t have any plans, so I headed out into the midday heat (30C/86F and humid) for a medium long run. My legs were again tight from the unaccustomed work from the day before, but I managed a half-marathon distance run in around 2:07 – okay considering the heat.
This week the temperatures are going to be rising steadily, probably hitting the mid-90’s (F) by the end of the week. I look forward to some good heat training! Enjoy your week.
