Remember that &#8220;sans loop&#8221; is my term for a loop without Great Hill.  I did two sans loops today, totaling a mileage of 10.52.  In 85-degree weather with 50% humidity, over that distance I ran 7:25s (not bad!), which I accomplished in 1:18:09.  My splits were generally around the 7:30 range, with some exceptionally fast miles coming in at 7:05 and 7:04.  (The first may have been a hiccup after hitting stop to go on a bathroom break.)  And I did 8.0 miles in 59:28, by my watch.  Here are the deets, which I&#8217;m posting late because I forgot to do my blog entry before bed:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/43889500'><\/iframe><br \/>\nNothing injury-related to report, though earlier today in new shoes I felt a twinge in my left foot, roughly equivalent to plantar fasciitis pain.  We&#8217;ll see about that and those shoes!<\/p>\n<p>I had hoped to get this run out yesterday, but much to my dismay, I downloaded a horrible virus on my computer and ended up pissing away my free time on a pricy tech support call that culminated in the recommendation to back up what files I can and reinstall the operating system tomorrow.  I did all the time-intense backup as I passed out, and I got up early this morning to commence the dreaded reinstall.  Fortunately, though, the tech support technician was able to make a relatively easy fix and get around the problem.  And I was able to get some of the tech support charges refunded!  Not to mention, many of my files backed up.<\/p>\n<p>So life and crisis got in the way of yesterday&#8217;s training, which I just bumped to today.  I used Gatorade&#8217;s 01 bars in the last couple days, and notably just before today&#8217;s run.  VERY TASTY!  And I used Gatorade&#8217;s 03 vanilla protein shake after today&#8217;s run.  Also pretty tasty.  Also had a protein shake of my own concoction, but I couldn&#8217;t drink the whole blasted thing.  Did I mention drinking a lot of coconut water, too?  God, I love that stuff cold.  (I was drenched in sweat after today&#8217;s run.)<\/p>\n<p>Still on Naproxen 500, which I&#8217;m avoiding taking before my runs.  Have a few more days to go on that.  And I&#8217;m wearing my compression socks to bed.  In the meantime, I&#8217;m wondering, Can I make 10.5 miles my new standard?  It&#8217;s fun to run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like running two &#8220;sans loops&#8221; in Central Park.
