It truly was nice to take the weekend off from running. It felt great to sleep in with the cooler weather that we had this past weekend. The weather gods continue mocking me sending cooler weather post Houston just as they did last October post Chicago.
With no running this weekend, I caught on some back issues of magazines that I let pile since the holidays. I had to laugh when I read one of the "They Said It" quotes in a Sports Illustrated issue. John Anderson, Thrashers coach, after a listless 4-1 loss to the Lightening: "Our give-a-crap level was, like, at zero"
The same can be said of the back 13.1 of my Houston marathon performance. I was the poster child for how not to run a marathon with quarter splits of 8:02, 8:23, 10:05, and 11:17. The overall pace of 9:30 and 4:09 look fine to me but it was just a tough way to get there.
I hope to get a couple of 5 mile runs in this week before running a 5k downtown Houston this weekend. Looks like this weekends weather will be cool.
