Mississippi running

Low on gas, high on life

[Today’s run: 7.5 miles]

I had a good run on Wednesday morning and then the blood donation Wednesday evening.  I didn’t run on Thursday or Friday.

This morning I was still feeling the effect of the blood donation. I was able to make it to the turn-around in pretty good shape. Then it was run-walk-run-walk..  I set the countdown timer on my cell phone for 2 minutes and alternated all the way back.

This afternoon we drove down to Jackson where the other runner in the house ran a “beer mile”, a 4 lap race around a brewery with a solo-cup sized beer before each lap.  I was the designated dog-sitter, picture taker and driver.  She got to meet again with a lot of on-line and real life running friends.  The dog didn’t want to get out of the car so I had the windows down and doors open for part of the time and then the car idling with A/C running for about an hour during the events.

We just got home a few minutes ago.
