Running Thoughts: Week 10

Last Saturday, i had the honor of being the designated "water guy" for the 8 miler. It was quite fun, and ended up setting up two stations at places I thought would be a good point for hydration. It was quite hot at 8am in the morning...when we began at about 7:30am (after stretching and waiting). Had the opportunity to give and spray some of the water.
I had sent an email a few days before, that I planned to run the 8 miler on Sunday morning, but after planning and playing softball that Saturday...I felt pretty sore and beat-- I did the unfortunate of not stretching prior to playing the game. Also playing under the scorching afternoon heat didn't help. So I found myself passed out sleeping that Sunday morning.

So we move into week 10!!!
This past week, I went back to my regular routine of running on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but ended with longer runs- to make up for the missed day (Saturday). I ran around 80 minutes on both days. I think Thursday was a bit more difficult than Tuesday...felt as though the air quality wasn't as good- as I had trouble breathing after running uphill. Tuesday seemed alot easier to me.


Tomorrow we meet at the tracks in Arcadia. No not the Santa Anita Race Tracks, but Arcadia High. Should be fun and a definite change in pace. Also the mornings have been slightly cooler so hopefully it'll stay that way for our run tomorrow.

Also we have our official GOO (GU) tasting...as we get try the best in GOO.
When I think of GOO, i think of the GOO GOO Dolls or KajaGOOGOO.
And they are this week's songs to lift your GOOness.
I may have misspelled GOO, as its actually spelled GU, not GOO, but just for entertaining purposes- we'll go with GOO.
Note: Compare and Contrast the lead singers in both bands...something GOOey going on here.

KajaGOOGOO- "Too Shy" (1983)


GOO GOO Dolls- "Slide"
