Ran 1.5 miles with Sparky at about 7:30 pace, then ran 1 mile with Samuel at just under 12:00 pace (the wind was blowing fairly hard), then ran 0.6 with Joseph at about 13:00 pace. Finally got the toilet put back on the bathroom floor, and made sure everything was working properly (at least it sure seems like it - if something is not working right, we have a few plumbers in our ward that I can call for help), then caulked around the toilet, bathtub and sink cabinets (there were tiny gaps between the bottom of the cabinet and the edge of the vinyl tile that we wanted to seal up). I don't envy people who work in construction all day - it is not for me. It is enough that I understand how to do this stuff - we will eventually be remodeling our master bathroom and putting tile in, and that will be a much larger undertaking. But that won't be until all our debt except the mortgage and car loan are paid off. Back to running, after all that stuff was done, went out for a quick 3 miles. First mile in 7:13, second mile in 7:00, final mile in 6:43, average pace of 6:59/mile. Need to make sure when I run the half that I work on proper form, including popping off my toes - I can really feel an increase in power when I do that. |
