I did my longish slow run Saturday instead of the usual Sunday morning before church because I was expecting to need to pick son up very early this morning* when he returned from a Band competition in Denver. After that, I knew I'd want to 'sleep in' and my long run just wasn't going to happen . Very Early as in he called at 3:45am asking me to be there in a half hour. Yikes! If anyone was concerned that my earlier run this week might be an indication that I've lost rights to tuse my slow-n-steady moniker, the answer is a resounding NO. First 3 miles came in around 11:30 (which is what I was aiming at); Next three about 12:15 (a little slower, not bad); final 3 around 14:00 (mostly wogging - walking/jogging). Not exactly the confidence builder I was hoping for. Oh well.
Today was going to be a Sunday afternoon bike ride, but it was too windy for my taste and I had the overwhelming urge to make home-made apple pie. Hmmm. Skipped ride for apple pie. Wonder if that has anything to do with my ever-expanding mid-section? Nahhhhhhh....
Slow IS the new fast, you know :)
ReplyDeleteBTW love the new photo
ReplyDeletePie? Bike? Pie? Bike? Oh my I'm not sure I could be trusted with that decision!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog....from one slow one to another!
Nothing wrong with those times! I like the new photo!
ReplyDeleteI would've chosen apple pie too :-)
ReplyDeleteSay this out loud. "I ran NINE miles" Enough said.
ReplyDeleteI'll even pick apple pie over chocolate, you made a wise choice. Of course I've got 30 pounds to lose, but apple pie season only comes once a year.
Just keep pluggig away at it. Remember, when you build a strong foundation, you will get faster... Then we might have to change your title someday..
ReplyDeleteApple Pie with ice cream, one of my favorites..
Whooooo Hoooo A girl after my own heart. I love apple pie. Well, I love any kind of pie . . .LOL
ReplyDeleteI take all my training runs at a slow pace. Are we supposed to go fast? Uh oh...I'm doomed then.
ReplyDeleteI like the new picture, too!

ReplyDeleteHy, its autumn. Pie should win out!
ReplyDeleteLove the new photo. I thought I could smell fresh apple pie ....MMMMMMMM
ReplyDeleteI gotta tell my friend about the term "wogging." She calls it jog-walking but your term is so much better!
ReplyDeleteI made apple pie over the weekend too! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong taking it one mile at a time at whatver pace you're comfortable with. You got it done. That's what counts.
ReplyDeleteLove the new photo! Didn't see it before.
