We go running! L&LLRs May 21 - 27

I am jealous of Wahine's muddy run. My run this am was in the rain, but it was a city run, so no mud
42 mins
4.5 miles
9m 33s /mile
avg HR: 150 (entirety of run: one long downhill, then one really long uphill)

Still testing out my new pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS, but I think it's a keeper.

Ran hard enough to decide against getting right onto the bike to commute, today.

Last run before my race on Monday!

1h 7m
6.00 miles
11m 10s /mile


Well, it was raining when I got off work, so I went to the gym and got on the treadmill.

Ran the first 3 miles in 34:30.

Then I had to use the little girl's room.

Finished off the last 3 by doing intervals of .25. Made the miles go by quick. I did the last 3 miles in 32:30.

My legs feel pretty good, a little tight and sore though.

I feel STRONG though! Strong and ready!

Good luck on your race KSH!

I finally got out for some exercise - first time since Sunday! I tried to do a run on Tuesday but only got thru 1km and came in. Thought the same thing might happen tonight so I started out slow and aimed for a 6:30km. Felt pretty good and decided to keep going. Ended up doing my longest run so far 5.5km in 34:11. Probably could have kept on going but didn't want to overdo it.

My goal this week was to do two 5k and one 5.5 k run. Then next week, increase the one longer run to 6k and then to 6.5 the following week till I work my wayup to 8-10km once a week. We'll see how that pans out....

good luck KSH.

Nice work KG on your longest run ever!!!

I didn't run tonight. I was supposed to run tonight but I blew it off. Rest week and I had a very long work day. Not to mention that I've had 2 pretty intense runs this week already.

Happy running everyone!

Howdy,
Last night was my first post race run. We did about....4.5 ish.....we ran for 41 mins.
It was HOT, and my legs were a bit heavy, but nothing hurt and they felt soooo much better than on the recovery ride the night before.
Today they are feeling pretty good. It is supposed to be really hot here today, so this afternoon, I am taking the DH open water swimming. He is thrilled....NOT.


Oh and I forgot, I did an ice bath yesterday post run. About 10 min soak time. It works...brrrr

Thanks!

Isn't it odd how sometimes you can run and nothing is going right... and other times everything is just clicking and you feel like you are running like the wind.

Good job on your longest run ever. It only increases from there!

Great job Kelownagirl on your longest run ever! Not too shabby a time either.

Ran some intervals this morning on the track. My heart rate while warming up was much better (lower) than on Monday, I was very relieved. Intervals went well, finished up feeling good. I'm ready for a long weekend of cycling.

Good luck on Monday KSH!
