Running week of 09/20/09-09/27/09

[kacie tri-ing]

I have been tapering all week....very little excercise but a whole lot of energy!!!!

As intended, I did get out for a longer trail run/walk/"circuit training" today--about an hour and a half. I found a route that has lots of fallen trees to walk across, rocks to jump on and off, a stream to cross, bigger rocks to climb on, and one spot with a rock that is perfect for doing pushups and tricep dips. Lots of "monkey business" and I am glad there aren't usually too many people on the trail to see it!

Jolt - I think doing the monkey business is the best part of a run!

We had a nice century ride yesterday - I would say my best out of five centuries ridden in three years. It was a lot of fun and we kept up a good 16.5 mph pace the whole ride. That was pretty good considering the coastal headwinds both up and back.

Today I ran 7.8 miles. Vacation runs are always more fun than home runs. Nice running along the coast with the wind and the rain. I was the only one pretty much out on the roads. It took me an hour and 20 min.

Tomorrow is a rest day. My legs feel good considering how much I beat them up this weekend!

Take care,
