Yesterday, I cautiously pushed my long run to seven miles. I'm still trying to be on the alert for indications of IT-band irritation, but fortunately, I got through all seven miles without a flare-up. Here are my splits:
Mile 1 - 10:38
Mile 2 - 10:23
Mile 3 - 10:01
Mile 4 - 9:58
Mile 5 - 9:46
Mile 6 - 9:45
Mile 7 - 9:39
0.11-mile - 1:03
I signed up to be a pace leader for the Illinois Half Marathon training group this year. Supposedly, this means that I should run even splits to keep the Half newbies in check. Maybe some of them will want to run negative splits with me?
I barely left the apartment today because (1) it was my day off and (2) I finished my second paper. Just one more to go.
In lieu of interesting photos, I will leave you with a video I made in high school about the symptoms of congenital myotonic dystrophy, featuring not one but TWO of my homecoming dates. I am offensive.
I'm at a complete loss of words over the video. We used to make them all the time for Latin in HS and I wish I could see them again - it'd be so horrible.
Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Myotonic Dystrophy that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resources for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Myotonic_Dystrophy/261. There is also a phone number listed if you need to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA
