Training Run 9. Really Nice Ice Cream Guy At Greenlake!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Location: Greenlake
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 22:30
Pace: 11:15 min/mile

I went to Greenlake with my friend/roomie Heather today with the anticipation of completing 4 miles. Yeah, didn't happen. I finally admitted to myself that I didn't give myself enough rest after Iron Girl.

Not only were my legs killing me, my back was all messed up too. After finishing the 2 miles, I turned around and limped back towards Heather. On the way back I started to stare at the food/coffee stand by the boat rentals. Mmmmmm, ice cream. Oh I totally deserved ice cream. Running while in pain and all......

I walked up to the stand and asked if it was cash only. It was and I didn't have any cash. But the guy was so nice! He said I could have my ice cream and that I could just pay him back the next time I was there! This is one of the nicest thing a Seattle-ite has ever done for me! This just made my king size triple chocolate Drumstick taste so much better.

Since I was still feeling sorry for myself, after Greenlake Heather and I went to Sushiland for dinner and then found ourselves in a Red Mango for dessert....My ass probably won't be shrinking for much longer if I keep my post run grub habit going.

So I'm going to rest. Next run.....Saturday. Maybe Sunday. We'll see what mood strikes me. In the meantime, I'll be searching for a massage therapist.
