Running into Autumn Sept 24-30

Good news about the IT band KSH. You're right about not pushing this week.

I ran twice over the weekend with DH. Slow run to get him back into it. We did close to 4 miles each time and he did pretty well.

I will try to run today or tomorrow. Since I'm not really training right now, my goal is just to keep in reasonable shape and still be able to eat the way I like to.

I did a 4 mile treadmill run Tuesday afternoon. Felt pretty good, and spent more time in the 6 mph speed range than before (normally I'm between 5.5-5.8 mph). I wasn't as euphoric as after my first-ever 4 mile run last week because I felt a bit more tired (maybe the difference in running after work this time vs. during my lunch hour before), but it was nice to know I could do it again!

Ran 5 miles this morning.
Wishing I was on the bike... but I feel like there's no time and it's too dark out before I leave for work... too dark when I get home.
Running totally wears me out. But I at least felt like I did something.

Well,
Yellow and I woke up to snow in Pocatello, Idaho so our "Tour de Vin" ride is on hold until tomorrrow but we will still enjoy the company and wine / beer tasting. Hopefully, the weather clears and we can take a brisk Sunday ride over Buckskin and still take in the beautiful fall colors.

My running has been okay this week. Sunday I ran 8 miles and 12 on Tuesday. I tried really hard to just enjoy the scenery and not be consumed with the time. I have another 1/2 mary next Sunday in Boise. I really don't feel as prepared as I have for the other two 1/2's. I am looking forward to riding my bike and mix it up a little.

Hope you ladies have a good week.

KSH, glad your ITB is doing well!

It was in the 40's with 20-30 mph winds yesterday, so the treadmill and I had a date. I'm going to have to name that thing if we keep going like this. I put 5 completely unrelated CDs in the CD player and ran for 10 miles.

I really hope to get a few more outdoor runs in before it turns to winter. But I woke up to 2 inches of snow outside this morning, so I don't know...

I've already resigned myself to the bike trainer and Coach Troy.

Got in a 10mile run today - perfect weather. Started out in the high 50s, ended in the low 70s, sunny, no wind. Couldn't have asked for better. I think I'm going to continue with the 4 run/ 1 walk combo. It seems to be working, I'm just going to start working on picking up the pace a little during the runs. Will keep you gals update on how it's going.

It's snowing places? And 40 degrees? Here in Texas it was 70 this morning and a bit chilly as far as we were concerned.

Btchance happy to hear the 4:1 is working for you!
