I jogged one of each five minutes to finish the Maple Street Loop in 26:59 this morning.
This was more like it. Beginning a few minutes before 5 p.m. Central, I ran the Park Hill-Gimblett Loop in 1:48:49, walking the first minute of each half mile, so I walked for a total of 20 minutes. The splits were 10:55, 11:30, 10:45, 11:35, 10:41, 11:02, 11:32, 10:10, 10:41 and 9:59. I swear I didn't push the final mile, and was amazed when I saw that split. This was the easiest 10-mile run I've done since I ran a couple with Genie Bubb in 1981-82. Coming down that final long hill, it seemed odd how pain-free I was. I walked a few hundred yards after I finished and felt like running some more.
My blood sugar was at 134 before. I ate energy gels at 3.5 and seven miles and it dropped to 117.
Now I can enjoy listening to Green Bay Packers play at New Orleans, and cheering against the NFL's Packers' wide receiver Greg Jennings. I need him to score fewer than 10 fantasy points (0.1 point for each receiving yard and six for each touchdown) in order for my Democrat Football League Green Bay Packers to win. I will, by the way, be delighted for him to beat me if that's what it takes for the real Packers to win.
