    It's June 22. I'm not as prepared as I'd like to be, but we'll see how it goes...

    I ran 32 minutes yesterday. I have no idea how far. I ran with a friend who is slower than me. I'd run ahead, circle back, and then do a sprint to catch her.

    My first race (an oly) is on Sunday, so I'm taking it easy this week.

    Good luck to everyone racing in the near future

    Since my half-marathon was saturday (and we did a LOT of walking that day), I only did a short walk on sunday. Yesterday I decided I had to do something and I wasn't that sore really so I did a 3 mile light jog. It felt great! Around 2.5 miles or so I could feel that I had a bit of fatigue still so I walked a bit.

    It was kind of cool, actually. I felt like more of a runner than I usually do on my short slow runs.

    triple brick today (20 mins bike, 8 [shoulda been 10] mins run each). It took some self-butt-kicking to go but it was fun.

    Got into a major downpour on the way home, never practiced so much super slow cycling. Had to "dry off and feed" my horse before feeding myself, just like a good owner would.

    I just did about a 3.5 mile run through the neighborhood with one of my running friends. It was really muggy and rainy, but we survived!

    Got up at 5:20 to go for a run. Only did 4k before I had to come in to use the bathroom. Argh.

    No run today. I'm still technically resting and the weather was really bad. I had a lot to do at home and I was/am so tired....so this is how I justify sitting on my backside

    Kimmyt, I am sure you will do well. What distance is your tri?

    I fully recommend track workouts though to me, they are not fun. The results (kinda, for me but then again I'm slow) are fantastic. Every once in a while one goes really well and I actually almost feel studly but that isn't the norm
