Long and Less Long Runs: 3-26 to 4-1

Nice work team.

Bad news is I won't likely be coming up for the Vancouvver Marathon or Half. Darn, I was hoping to link up with Grog and some other friends.

Good news is that I ran 6.31 mi today with my test one miler in the middle.

I shaved some time of my test mile. That means I improved all the way around on my test sets this week.

I get to start some harder intensity workouts next week.

That's too bad Wahine

There's lots of other running events in Vancouver though. And I'll most likely be out there cheering for you for the Big Day in August.

As I was running and suffering today, I realized a few things about running at sea level in a coastal location.

• Sweating this much sucks!
• It's so humid I can't breathe!
• How can these people wear pants and shirts with sleeves???

And a personal note: I've decided that I do not like running on flat terrain. I found a 112-stair stairway up from the beach and did 5 repeats on it. That made me feel a little better.

I think it's kind of for the same reason I don't like riding flats: when you are running or riding uphill, it's easier to give yourself permission to go slower.

Yup. That's the one. I'm fully expecting you to be there cheering. LBTC too.

I will consider that just for you Wahine.

Dh and I are hoping to ride the IM bike route for fun this spring/summer.
