Born to Run - Week of April 27

[KSH]

Had to run this morning. It's dark at 6:00 AM and I'm not running in my neighborhood, in the dark, alone.

Went to the gym and got on the treadmill... 47 minutes... 5 miles. Did a walk/run combo to make it more tolerable. I hate running in the morning.

Once I get sick of the treadmill in the morning, I'll get my lazy butt out of bed earlier and join my tri group for their 5:15/5:30 AM runs.

Until then, I'm getting some extra sleep.

I almost stepped on this! Yikes.

Aw, cute milk snake!

Cool snake!!

I wouldn't want to step on it though.

I ran on Tues. 5 miles, slowly increasing my distance. Unfortunately, I was sore after and sore the next day. Still a little sore today but I think I'll be able to run come tomorrow morning. This slow build is killing me. I think I got sore in part because my hips were so tired still from riding the TT this last weekend and that made me put more pressure on my lower leg. Sigh.

8 weeks until my first big race and I have to be ready to do a half mary for it.

I haven't run at all this week. I took all my running gear (so I thought) to work to go to the gym and run on the treadmill on Tuesday on my lunch break. I was psyched. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to bring a towel from home. I can't run at lunchtime and not shower afterwards, no way. And unfortunately, by the end of the day I got too busy, had to work late, and couldn't get down to the gym since my puppy and DH were waiting patiently at home.

Sigh...sometimes the gods are just conspiring against ya!

I did get to ride the mountain bike tonight (FUN!), tho, so am planning a "recovery" run tomorrow, easy and short.

Well this is the running/WALKING section, right? Today was housework and yardwork - my walk consisted of walking to the end of the driveway to get my trash can and the mail. Woo-hoo, two pairs of new shorts from TE! One mile, with wheelbarrow.

I managed yet another 5km run at lunch today - that's 4 weeks on a row. The kids are working towards a half marathon (they've done 20km so far) and they only have one more day left but I think I might just keep 5k at lunch twice a week because it gives me more free time after school (to ride my bike of course ) (After school I did a hard 40km ride with a steady 8km climb. Keep an avg of about 28kmh throughout most of the climb and my HR was 168 steady. I'm tired now...)
