Absolutely and red wine has tons of antioxidents to help get those free radicals under control.

Hmmmmm, how long til I get of work? I think I hear a bottle calling my name.

So, in total for the mileage people logged in with for last week, plus what I was able to rustle up from last weeks posts, we got 159 miles or 6.1 marathons!! Woooooooo Hoooooooo. Nice work team.

BTW - my legs are killing me, I managed 45 min run, serious suffering going on. I am soooo glad that next week is a rest week for me. I only have 7 more months of training until IM.

Here's my week's totals:
Two short 4 mile runs + one 7 miler today = 15 for me this week.
No runs scheduled for this weekend, so that should do it for me.

Well, I got in 2.5 miles at lunch.

I might put in some more miles on Saturday... but doubt it. I start with my tri coach workout plans on Monday... and he has me working out every day next week.

I got in maybe 1.5 miles, yesterday morning. Which is plenty, considering it was my first run since my 12/19 ankle sprain! I did short intervals on the treadmill - 10 x 1.5 minute runs.

Oy, my shins & hips hurt! Not sure if it's due to the treadmill (I prefer to run outside), or to the 5 weeks away from running. The ankle feels fine, though.

I ran 2.75 miles (+ walked .5 mi) on the treadmill yesterday. Definitely a "less long" run compared to most of you, but for a complete non-runner, asthmatic like myself, running 3 miles straight for the first time in my life (and I'm 45) a couple of months ago, courtesy of Advair (a miracle) and aerobic training on the bike, hiking, etc., felt like an INCREDIBLE victory. I used to hate running, avoid it at all costs, and now it makes me feel very powerful and free -- kinda like cycling.

P.S. I also fractured my pelvis and had to have surgery in a cycling accident in April '05. I didn't think I'd ever be able to even walk fast again...much less run. That's what makes it even sweeter.
