Long and Less Long Runs: 4-23 to 4-29

Since I'm back into more base building, the LSD are starting again. I did 6miles today at a very easy pace, kept my HR in zone 1 all the time (by quite a bit, actually). Jogged the entire distance, so all went well.

I hope you get to feeling better girls!

Hi guys. I hope everyone is doing well today and that the snifflers are feeling better. I just had a short run today. I went to the pool with the DH this morning, and then he dropped me off on the way home and I ran the trails the rest of the way.

I got new shoes, so it was nice.....

I had a 5k trail run this morning. Before I even started I had a negative attitude, thinking I was going to do awful and making excuses to set myself up for failure. I actually stopped and walked, I've never done that before during a race. My time was 4 minutes slower than last year.

Everyone is bound to have a bad race day now and then, right? My attitude this afternoon is much better. I'm excited about training again and can't wait to do that trail run again in August at which time I plan to demolish the course. Thank you.

RIDE

30.87 miles
17.15 miles/hr


Went out to WRL with Jonny to ride and run.

Also met up with Susan, from my cycling club. She does tri's as well.

The first loop around, I hung with Susan. Huh, she is too slow for me. Too bad, I would like a training buddy.

After that, for the last 2 loops I kicked it in. Overall a really good ride for me.

Unfortunately, my neck and back gives out long before my legs do.

OH! The new saddle on the tri bike.. TORTURE DEVICE. Ugh. It has to go back.

After the ride, went to run.


RUN

I was a little concerned about this run, since I have been hurting pretty bad after the 6 miler on Thursday.

The run was fine. I got a cramp at 1.5 miles, but worked on it, as always.

Overall a really good brick for me.

Could I have run 3 more miles, like I will need to do in an Olympic... yes, I think I could have with a bit slower pace.
