I ran from 6-8 last night and it wasn't quite dark! I hate loosing that hour of sleep, but I LOVE having the evening to run in the light!

I am 4 weeks from my HIM, and this was the first weekend I thought I might have lost my mind a little. Saturday I did a fairly hilly 1.5 hour bike ride followed directly with an 8.5 mile super hilly trail run. Lost my mind. I was worried, because this is the longest brick I have ever done...by far. Even though it is on one of my toughest runs, my legs actually felt springy the whole time, which bodes well for 4 weeks from now! Now, the 10 mile trail run on Sunday is a different story. It was edging on hot, and my legs felt really burned out on a couple of hills. Fortunately, I think ran enough in my marathon training to have the mental ability to just push through a run that I am not all that excited about finishing.

Luckily for my poor legs, today is swimming Tomorrow is a 9 miler that I will have to do in the city since it is a work day, and I can't get to the trails.

Enjoy your runs!
