Good weekend.\u00a0 Got up bright and early Saturday morning for a long run.\u00a0 Was going to be on my own and wasn’t looking forward to it.\u00a0 Wanted to hit double digits as that is the goal for long runs leading up to OKC.\u00a0 So I set off and it was actually a pretty good run.\u00a0 Headed out past the new stores in Norman that were built within the last year and a half.\u00a0 The stretch of road they were built on used to be empty fields with little to no traffic for 2.5 miles.\u00a0 So it was a great place to run and bike.\u00a0 Being as I was up prior to the stores opening, there was still little traffic, but there was a ton more than there used to be.\u00a0 My right hamstring began tightening up around mile 5.\u00a0 Stopped and stretched it out, but it was tight the rest of the way.\u00a0 Finished with 10.2 miles, walking the last .2 miles to cool down.\u00a0 Ran with the forerunner to keep splits and kept them fairly even keel, fastest was 9:05 and slowest was 9:38\/mile.<\/p>\n
Ran past an odd phenomenon.\u00a0 The medical center I ran past was having a drive-up flu shot clinic.\u00a0 There were probably 100 cars in line, waiting to move up and get their shot.\u00a0 I’m personally all for flu shots having gotten the flu 3 years ago and suffering for darn near 2 weeks.\u00a0 It was the worst sickness I’ve ever had and I’ll gladly take the 1-2 days of after-affects from the shot.\u00a0 But come on.\u00a0 Sitting in a parking lot with the car running (for the majority, it was in the low 50’s after all and we need heat) for who knows how long to pull forward, instead of parking in a lot, not running the car, and walking 100 feet into a sterile (relatively) environment to wait for and get a shot.\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 We can’t get out of the car now?\u00a0 The really sad part was that in the nearly 5 minutes that the situs was in my field of vision, I saw not one car pull out after receiving their shot, even with 2 lines of cars getting service at the same time.<\/p>\n
Sunday I was still feeling a little tight so decided to run some of it out.\u00a0 Went out for a quick<\/strike> 3.7 miles prior to dinner.\u00a0 The first 1.5 were rough, one of those where I could feel every step and my legs felt like stone.\u00a0 Capped it off with 1.5 mile walk with Carrie, G&A, Nana, Pop and the dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
