Today's run included some work on the track, and I had an audience. It was a little later in the morning than usual, maybe that was it. There were 4 or 5 people sitting out on their porch across the street watching, it was kinda creepy. Cool thing was the pair of little kids, walking to the day care in the community center, who actually cheered!
74 days until the Peak. It is full on humidity here in Florida. Luckily the sun was behind the clouds most of my run. 15 slow miles. I am giving myself permission to just run SLOW. And knowing I'll walk more in the later miles and I did. When I ran I held an OK pace. Since I normally only train for 1/2 marathons when I get above 13 miles it is new territory for me. I am working on endurance and mental toughness, what I think got me through Pikes Peak Ascent last year. I still need to work on getting in more runs and incline work on the treadmill mid week, but I am not getting in much. And this was a bad week as I had to put my 18 year old cat to sleep
Since I had this past Fri, Sat & Sunday off I did my 13 miles on Friday, biked 38 miles (rolling hills) Sat & first time Stand Up Paddle Boarding on Sunday. So very active week. And not much recovery time before I did todays 15 miler!
I have work and work conference (out of town) for the next 10 days straight...so hopefully I can do lots of short distance runs and time on TM for incline work .

((((((katluvr)))))) So sorry about your kitty.What a week you've had!
I'm getting somewhere with the PT now that we're working hard on the mid and upper back (the one place where I'm not having any symptoms). I've really started to notice it on my last couple of runs. I guess I knew in the back of my head how restricted my arm swing has been, but I never quite put it together. Hopefully I'll be coming out of this injury in better shape than I was before.

After work I got in a nice 60 min run. I was afraid I was going to overheat as it is starting to get pretty warm here...upper 80s but it was not bad at all. Felt great then once I got home I did a quick 30 min weight workout.![]()
Actually ran in my neighborhood this evening. It's been ages.
Was supposed to do hill repeats with my running club's program at a local university. But....subway was late. Bus was late. Cats were needy. There was no way I was going to be able to take care of all I needed to at the house, get dressed, and get to the school (35 minute drive without traffic, which in next to never). So, I figured...I have to do hill work. I have lots of rolling hills right outside my front door. No need to drive to run. So...I did my 4 miles right out my door. Was actually a nice change of pace. And, my knee/peroneal tendon, which I had re-aggravated during Sunday's race, didn't bother me. So that was great. I'm still going to take late summer off of running (after my program's goal race and one last duathlon), and allow this to heal up properly. So, after mid-July, I'm on a self-imposed running exile. I intend to start up again at the beginning of October to prepare for the 5-mile Celtic Solstice in Baltimore in December.
Still...happy to do 4 today.
