Training Day 90: Great News! No Runners' Diarrhea!

Date: 31 May 2008 / Distance: 6.02 mi plus cross training / Time: 51:26 (run) plus 60:00 (cross train)

I've been a lazy bum this week.  On Thursday, I was supposed to run 3 miles and on Friday, I was supposed to do cross training.  Today, I had an optional 3 miler.  Out of extreme guilt, I made up all the workouts I missed by jamming everything into a single day.  I'm not sure exactly what was prompting my guilt.  I'm not sure if I felt like I was cheating myself or if I felt like I was not being a good team player or if I felt the running gods were frowning down on me.  In any case, feeling guilty stinks and I'm ultimately happy I jammed everything into a single day.  I'm pretty pooped though.  I started with a one hour tennis lesson and then I combined my missed 3 miler with today's 3 miler.  The run today wasn't terrible, I hit my stride at about mile 2.5.
Next weekend, Joel and I are visiting Rachel in Sacramento.  I don't think she's going to let us off the hook -- she's asked us to bring our tennis racquets and workout clothes!
