I do not think of myself as fast for several reasons:
1. We usually only trail run, slower than running on the roads, and we usually run for time, as exact mileage is often hard to come by.
2. I run witha man that is 6'6" tall and has long legs
3. I live in the land of really fast runner, family members, track athletes, I am surrounded by them.
So somebody thinking this "nonrunner", is speedy is kinda nice.
OK I can finally post in here again. I have... not been good. I got really excited when it got warm enough to cycle again, and almost completely dropped running. It slipped my mind then and before I knew it, it was 4 weeks since my last run (:eek: ).
This weekend The Boy and I were out in Indy at his family picnic, and chatting with his sis, who totally inspires me by running the Indy mini-mar every year and finishing verry well. She took this year off due to a knee problem, but usually finishes top 10 or so in her AG and she owns a gym and well, pretty much I just wanna be here when I grow up. So she is starting a women's running club in her small town and will have a virtual running comp to run 100 miles during the summer, so The Boy and I signed up (he is boasting that he will proudly wear the Bedford Women's Running Club tee we get if we complete the 100 miles...so darn cute). So that means I have another reason (besides the fact that the tri is creeping up and less than a month away!) to start running again.
We ran a measly 2.89 miles the other day in some midwestern midmorning heat (yes, apparently there are hills in Indiana!) and I was dying. Today and yesterday my legs felt like lead. What conditioning I had has gone away completely. So now I feel like I'm starting all over again and I've only just done this to myself, but with some training in the next few weeks I know I'll be able to get back into shape.
So, 3 miles down and only 97 to go! Whoo!:D
(what have i done?)
KimmyT- well, at least you've been cycling, that's good. Perhaps it was a good time off from running, for your body.
Way to go, getting out for a run in the midwestern heat. Once the summer gets going, I only like to run early in the day, when it's still (hopefully) cool & the humidity isn't as oppressing. Make sure to eat something after your runs; it can really help stave off the lead-legs feeling!
Well, I've been reading the thread... just too lazy to post.
Last week I ran 3 miles on the treadmill, 4.25 miles outside in humidity and 85 degree heat, and did a 20/3 brick (bike-run) in 90 degree heat.
All and in all my running is coming along solid.
And I won't want to jinx myself... but I haven't had the tightness in my lower legs for a good couple of weeks now. WOO-HOO! I just might be turning a corner with my running.
Congratulations on the house! I know how much you have saved for it... and what a huge deal it is.Quote:
