The first two days' runs this week were tedious, easy runs, in which I was recovering from the crash-and-burn 16 miler on Saturday, plus the nickel-sized blister which I acquired during that run.
9/29/2008 Easy 7.21 Miles in 1:05:00 (9'01" pace) – had blister band-aid, blister formed around it. Nice.

9/30/2008 Easy 7.56 Miles in 1:08:00 (9'00" pace) – The whole blister popped here… I had taped, retaped, gauzed, etc…

Ok, I was awakened at 4am to take care of my fussy baby boy. I got a few nods in, but ended up craving some of the Blue Bell Ice Cream — Banana Pudding flavor, so I had some of that. I got to work, and I was craving salt… so I got food from the breakfast bar at work… eggs, tater tots, and a biscuit with sausage gravy.
My run:
1 mile warm up @ 9'13"
2 miles @ 8'00"
1 mile @ 7'54"
1 mile @ 7'48"
2 miles cool down @ 8'57" w/ a pick-up at end at 6'08" pace.
Then lunch… Taco Bell Nachos Supreme (Express)
