Thankfully today was a day of rest. Actually it is supposed to be a cross-train day but we tend to take it easy after our long runs. Today we managed a slow bike ride, but a big one for Brayden who road the entire 6 miles on his bike.
Anyway, we have been watching the Olympics and this weekend has been a lot of fun seeing some of the incredible times the Olympics Runners are putting out. The Women's Marathon pace was a crazy 5:30-I can't imagine keeping that pace for 26 miles. Just for fun we might have to run one lap-400m, this Wednesday at that pace, it would be about 1:25. Ron might be able to do it but not me!
We also watched the 1500m, just a little shy of 1mile. The runners in this race could run an 800 (2 laps) in 2 minute-resulting in a 4M/M. At my best it takes me 2 minutes to run a 400 (1lap)-resulting in a 8M/M which I think is pretty fast. Their times are truly unbelievable.
