Nanakorobi yaoki<\/i>\u00a0 – Japanese proverb. <\/strong>\u00a0(Translation: “7 times down, 8 times up”)<\/div>\n

We had a 12-mile run scheduled yesterday.\u00a0 We covered the distance.\u00a0 I am sun-burned and sore and wishing I had worn adequate sun coverage.\u00a0 Seriously, I need to get a Monday to Friday* visor.<\/div>\n

Here’s how the run — which we were supposed to do at a 11:20-11:40 pace, and ended up doing closer to a 13:00 pace — went:<\/p>\n

Miles 1-4<\/strong>: Hey, this isn’t so bad.\u00a0 Sort of boring running through corn and soy fields.\u00a0\u00a0 And the deer and horse flies are annoying.\u00a0 But the butterflies are nice.\u00a0 Josh to me, “Do you think you’ll ever do a full marathon?”\u00a0 Me, “I dunno, maybe.”\u00a0 Josh, “I bet you will in the next couple of years.”<\/p>\n

Miles 5-6<\/strong>: The headwind after turning (South?\u00a0 East?\u00a0 It’s all the same out in Flatland) and all the traffic on this road is terrible.\u00a0 Thank goodness we had to stop for a freight train so I could get a rest.<\/p>\n

Miles 6-8<\/strong>: Hey, doesn’t your friend live on this road?\u00a0 Maybe we should go say hi.\u00a0 We did stop and he gave us more water and let us be in his air conditioned house, which was AWESOME.<\/p>\n

Miles 8-10<\/strong>:\u00a0 Did it get about 15 degrees hotter while we were in his house…and sunnier?<\/p>\n

Miles 10-12<\/strong>: You know, I am totally okay with our walking these last two miles because I think I might pass out.\u00a0 By this point I was wishing for some UV coverage.<\/p>\n

And upon completing our 12th mile in 2 hours and 34 minutes, not counting the break, we called my in-laws to pick us up about a 1\/2 mile from their house.\u00a0 Father-in-law rolls up in his truck quipping, “Ha, couldn’t make it up heartbreak hill, huh?”\u00a0 No, no we couldn’t.\u00a0 But you know what — our time even with the walking was not that much slower than my first 5K a couple of years ago.\u00a0 So, maybe I do have a marathon in me in the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

* “Monday to Friday” is a euphemism.\u00a0 Because we keep a clean blog here, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
