Butte again! I continue to improve slightly each day...I fear I'm setting a dangerous precedent and will be killing myself every run trying to stay faster than the day before. If I get slower, no one get angry at me!
Started out pretty slow again but got going after not too long. As I was coming down the Butte, right near the top, I slipped on a rock and my face slammed into it. I was even trying to be careful, I just spaced out for a second and my foot found a smooth dusty rock and I was on the ground. A woman near me stopped and asked if I was okay, and confirmed that I wasn't bleeding. After I got up and started back down, another woman in the same group told me she admired my dedication: the first thing I'd done when I fell was hit my watch. When I got back and looked in the mirror I found that I'd skinned my cheek--it looks pretty gnarly, but I think it won't look so bad once I shower up (right now my right side is covered in dirt).
Other than the fall, a pretty swell run. Two (2) pull-ups.
Splits: 12:45, 15:27, 9:11, 7:01, 7:59, 3:41, 3:19 (59:27) / 3:25, 2:48, 6:28, 6:04, 7:17, 14:55, 11:17.
Speaking of dedication, you did this update before you showered? Even with the addition of blood and dirt?
ReplyDeleteI love it when this sort of spice is added to the blog (sorry you got hurt though).
No blood, just dirt. And yeah, I need a bit of time to cool down after a run before a shower, so I try to get the post up during that time so I don't forget and end up with a handful of updates "due" at the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteAh, my mistake. Still pretty fucking cool though.
