Goldfish a No-Go

I am stupid. I only packed myself a sandwich for lunch yesterday, (no fruit, no snacks, etc) so when I got home last night I knew I should eat something before my run. I had a little time too, because Bill was taking Benvy out when I got through the door. So what did I do? I got dressed superfast and sat on the couch with a bag of Goldfish crackers. I gourged myself. Oh, and then I topped it off with the last Mallomar in the box.

Needless to say, I did NOT feel good during my run. Well, I mean I actually had a good run, but my stomach didn't feel 100%. We did 5ish miles (maybe more?) at a pretty fast clip. Well, fast for me. I think we might have been doing about a 9:30 the whole time. Since I base my runs on time instead of mileage (because on mapmyrun.com they don't actually have the trails laid out in Riverside Park) it is difficult for me to tell how far I ran (you have NO idea how annoying this is to me).

Unfortunately, good runs for me = bad runs for Bill. He just wasn't feeling it last night. We think it might be because he took a week off from running last week. Come to think of it , the last time I ran was also Tuesday. But I guess it probably affects me less because I have been running for the past year. And also, my long runs are up to 10 miles whereas I think Bill's is about 6. So this was kind of a lot of mileage for him.

Maybe tonight we will both have good runs.

Technology Rocks!

I was really really hoping that mapmyrun worked in the UK, but doubting that it would. My plan to run tomorrow included running in as straight a line as long as I could for 60 minutes and turning around to go back and getting lost. But mapmyrun actually works ANYWHERE in the WORLD!!!

Yeah! I've mapped a 12 mile route and could actually view all of the little veers instead of turns, when the street names change, and what tube stations I will be passing. Now we'll see whether or not I get lost.
