We run - L & LLRs May 28 to June 3

Back to the thread after a break

I did a 6k trail run last night: 1:05. Oh, it was hilly. The first loop was TOUGH, all up and down sand dunes. I ended up doing some walking. The second loop was hilly but at least it was firmer ground.

I'm hoping to do an 8 miler this weekend. We will see. There are so many training opportunities and so little time. I want to run, mountain bike, get in a road ride AND go to the triathlon training session our local running store is hosting. What to do, what to do. I wonder if DD would sit still in a little floaty boat so I could tow her while I get in some swimming time?

I too am back for my not-so-often post: I ran 3 miles yesterday at about a 9 minute mile pace. It was nice switchup from the slower 6 mile trail run I did on Monday-that's the furthest I've run in many years.

I have an 8k road race this Sunday! I'm a little nervous about the distance; I didn't really do any special training plan for it, aside from doing some longer runs 1-2x a week, since my 5k race in late April. Hopefully my bike commute today and maybe a swim tomorrow will be sufficient "tapering" preparation.

rnrgirl - I read online that people can have exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Can't even imagine how you'd cope with that...

4 miles in 34:30

I was supposed to do a brick yesterday, but after three hard hours of mt biking in really hot weather, nope, did not happen. So I ran this morning instead on the ROAD, lord help me....what is the world coming to.

Dang that is so fast!

I did 4.25 miles in 46 minutes the other day! I can only dream of your speed.

I do not think of myself as fast for several reasons:

1. We usually only trail run, slower than running on the roads, and we usually run for time, as exact mileage is often hard to come by.

2. I run witha man that is 6'6" tall and has long legs

3. I live in the land of really fast runner, family members, track athletes, I am surrounded by them.

So somebody thinking this "nonrunner", is speedy is kinda nice.

OK I can finally post in here again. I have... not been good. I got really excited when it got warm enough to cycle again, and almost completely dropped running. It slipped my mind then and before I knew it, it was 4 weeks since my last run ( ).

This weekend The Boy and I were out in Indy at his family picnic, and chatting with his sis, who totally inspires me by running the Indy mini-mar every year and finishing verry well. She took this year off due to a knee problem, but usually finishes top 10 or so in her AG and she owns a gym and well, pretty much I just wanna be here when I grow up. So she is starting a women's running club in her small town and will have a virtual running comp to run 100 miles during the summer, so The Boy and I signed up (he is boasting that he will proudly wear the Bedford Women's Running Club tee we get if we complete the 100 miles...so darn cute). So that means I have another reason (besides the fact that the tri is creeping up and less than a month away!) to start running again.

We ran a measly 2.89 miles the other day in some midwestern midmorning heat (yes, apparently there are hills in Indiana!) and I was dying. Today and yesterday my legs felt like lead. What conditioning I had has gone away completely. So now I feel like I'm starting all over again and I've only just done this to myself, but with some training in the next few weeks I know I'll be able to get back into shape.

So, 3 miles down and only 97 to go! Whoo!

(what have i done?)
