I'm gonna run to you - week of June 30

[Kimmyt]

3.5 mile hill run during my lunch break today. It felt GREAT. Finally. Since I found out the mileage I've had a mental break when it comes to doing the whole thing without stopping. See I had estimated it at 2.5 but it's really 3.5, once I found it out I always stopped and seemed to get tired on it real easy.

Today it was sunny and warm, but with a strong cool wind, and the run felt great. No stopping, even on the last Hill of Doom. I slowed the pace down, so maybe that was it, or maybe my legs are reacting to a week of rest (only 2x3mile runs last week) following a tri, but I felt STRONG.

Let's hope it continues... I just signed up for a second Oly Tri come August, and it'll be HOT and HILLY. Oy. What have I done?

*pats herself on the back*
This was my "first" workout after being sick last week
alarm clock rang at 5am today. Asked myself why am I doing this, but got up anyway.

I had a glass of water with some rice syrup and pinch of salt (I am trying to develop my own energy goo based on rice syrup and maltodextrin), and was out the door at 5:14! 45 min run. 6K, slow & easy, I felt good while, but a bit woozy after.

shower, 15 min re-incubation under the covers, and off on the train at 7 am.


......? shins? will tell you once they're holding up to 60 mins.....

I am so impressed with you TRI girls! What an accomplishment! I can bike and run but not so sure about the swim . I did get my long run of 9.25 in on Saturday and a short easy 3 on Sunday. Nothing on Monday and plan to run this evening at 7Pm hoping it cools down. It has been in the 90's today. the heat just wipes me out. I went to the Yogi /Pilates class again this WOW that is hard stuff. Anyother YOGI"S out there?
