Weekend Warrior II

Friday pm, 5 pints
Saturday am, 8.8 miles, 1:07
Sunday am, softball practice, 2 hours
Sunday pm, 12.4 miles, 1:33

Christine and Si are out of town, so I'm working pretty hard to fill my time. The Friday work run was replaced by an after-work birthday celebration. Somehow, this led to a 7 am run on Saturday that went much better than it should have, by all rights. In fact, 1:07:09 is my new fastest time for my 8.8 mile loop. This morning was a long softball practice (I know that lots of baseball players are fat, but this was harder work than I remembered!), so I decided to pare back my planned 14 miler to 10 miles and to move it from the hills to the flat Ohlone Greenway. I got off to a strong start, though, and ended up running to the end of the Greenway. The way back was a bit of a drag, and I actually got some wicked cramps while stretching afterward - this has never happened to me, but I downed some salty Gatorade and some raisins, which seemed to help. No bananas in the house for once!

I'll do some extra stretching tonight, and go for an easy morning tomorrow.
