Another absolutely gorgeous day, so whether I felt bad or not it was bound to be a running day. Went 5.5 miles and included a 20-minute tempo run in there. I was going to head west through the new construction, but a cop was out pulling over people who disregarded the "Road Closed" signs. So even though he probably wouldn't have hassled me, I figured I would refrain from giving him the chance.
My time in the tempo run was about 2.25 miles in 20 minutes, which I think figures out to a tad over 8:30 minute miles. Not bad, but I certainly don't feel I could keep it up for 26.2 miles.
I also keep forgetting that a little over a week from now is the KC Half Marathon. I'm trying to decide how to run it. Should I treat it as a regular training run and go about 10 minutes/mile, or should I try and up the pace? Did I post about this before? I might have. And if I did, I'm still undecided.
On today's run I listened to Living Colour, one of my faves. With the election less than a month away and people treating Obama like some untouchable deity, Living Colour's song "Cult of Personality" seems more relevant now than when it was written almost twenty years ago. Simply amazing. I keep praying that God will give us the president we need, not the one we deserve. Is this the election where we get "The One" we deserve?
