Indy 500 week

Another busy week has past. Big trip to indiana to celebrate jacque's 60th birthday with a surprise party, see all our friends and family and go to the Indy 500. So squeezing in runs became a liitle diificult. I got in a couple morning runs and one heat of the day run wall with my nephews who were now out of school for the summer and just looking for something to do.

Ouch it’s hot!

I feel as if I need to run more during the day to acclimate myself to the heat.  So Sunday, I went for a run at 5:30 pm.  It was still 91 degrees outside and the 3.5 run I planned on doing I started dragging at about 32 minutes thus a little walk occurred on this said outing.  Come 6:10 pm it was still 91 degrees outside.

We had a nice little rain Monday so a run at 7:00 pm was perfect.   Almost the same run as Sunday night, but this was a lot more enjoyable.

Mom and Dad Visit

This was an odd week.  Christi was due back from New York from a girls trip with Sharon on Sunday at 6:15.  So I figured I liked running at night better so I will wait until she gets home to go for a run since the kids room at the gym is closed on Sundays.  After a few delays and a redirect from Memphis to Huntsville because of storms we didn’t pick her up until 11 pm.  Oh well.  I’ll just make it up during the week. 

So during softball on Monday Christi tried the gym membership, to which she really didn’t like.  I got my run in after softball as usual.  My run in on Tuesday night no problem.  Then Christi went to Nashville so I was going to use the gym card, but couldn’t find it until it was too late.  I’ll just make it up during the week.

Then Mom and Dad come in on Thursday, ahead of schedule, which never happens.  And my mom says she’ll go running with me.  Bless her heart and lungs.  She gave it her best.  We walked my normal 4.5 University of Memphis run and we mixed in a few runs here and there.  She did it though.

Friday I just hung out with my parents and Mary Ev. Then Saturday morning my Mom and I went out again.  It was hot and sticky.  We did pretty much the same loop but I broke off at a point where I could run to the Memphis Country Club and pick up a couple extra miles.  I had to walk a lot though.  The sun, the heat drained me.

Day 2 of Trial

Well day two of the DAC Fitness trial was fine once again. Ran 3.5 miles in 32:20. Finished at 4 miles but ankle was a little sensitive so that last half mile was walking. Mary Evelyn really likes the playhouse in the Kid's room.

Two Week Trial

Well Christi is out of town and rain is expected in the forecast so with no one to watch Mary Ev anyway, I thought hey let's try out DAC Fitness for a couple of weeks. I really liked the treadmills. All the treadmills have individual TVs and I ran 4 miles in 38:30 minutes. I'll see what tomorrow brings though.

Day 135, 05/14/10, treadmill run, 4 miles 38:30

Nursing a Sore Ankle

After taking it easy on the ankle and icing it down and staying away from the flip flops to wear something with a little more support I feel a lot better. Still have a little sensitivity but it doesn't hurt.

Go South to Go West

The trip back from Indianapolis was a difficult one. Tennessee received record rainfall in a two day period causing flooding all over Nashville. After driving all day trying to get home to Memphis we stayed the night in Nashville to then drive south through Alabama to go west on the following day. Christi then had to back to Nashville on Wednesday and Thursday for meetings. Friday was camp Phoenix where we spent the day getting the camp ready for the kids during summer.
