Did my longest run to
date today. It was a little rough, but
not too TOO bad. I didn’t run slower
than about an 11 minute mile, which is the pace I try to hold anyway, so that’s
good. However the last mile I felt the
need to stop and rest for a minute twice.
Why? I’m not sure, but I think it
was because the temperature and because my heart rate was higher than I’ve been
used to since I run at a comfortable pace in a comfortable temperature most of
the time. The temperature was about
90. That’s the hottest it’s been when I’ve
run so far. And it took a little toll on
me. I really should have taken a gel
with me, or bought a non-“diet” sports drink to sip on during my run. I’m sure that would have made me feel
better. But, the important part is that I
made it. I completed the whole 8.5 miles. Almost thought my Garmin wasn’t gonna make it
with me, though. Shortly after mile 6,
it told me its battery was low. Luckily,
it made it until I got back home.
YAY! So, I have my data from
today’s run and that makes me happy. I like
data.
So, I was supposed to
get tattooed today. I took a shower
after my run and when I get out of the shower there’s a message on my Facebook
from my artist telling me to call him asap.
So I call him. He’s sick. So, no tattoo today. Even though I really REALLY want this tattoo
(now!), I prefer to get my tattoos on Saturday (we rescheduled for this Saturday,
the 20th) so that they have a day to “settle” between being done and
when I have to wear a work uniform. Also,
now I have time to do a little grocery shopping and laundry that was going to
be rushed and/or squeezed in before work tomorrow due to my poor planning for
today’s activities. I’m not mad, just
impatient. I hope he feels better. I wouldn’t want him to feel like crap while
trying to tattoo me, anyway.
I’ll be getting this
raven on the front of my right thigh. It
will be awesome. Oh, also, he really
didn’t want to cancel because he’s almost more excited about doing this tattoo
than I am about getting it.
