Running On, Feb 21-27

9 x 1 minute intervals in shoes, then 1.2 miles barefoot after a bit of a cool-down.

A little bit chilly and cloudy here today... it was actually nice to have my feet a little bit numb for my 1/4-mile walk barefoot back home on the road. Toughening my soles up little by little.

skhill, yeah, it's the same with running on the beach, really instructive to be able to see footprints!

4k trail run in 6 inches of snow (we finally got some....) with CrossFit buddies. it was hard, fun..perfect.

Today, I was planning to go 13 miles or so, but my right hamstring has been barking for the last few days. So I changed my route, winding my way through town, with many opportunites to bail early and head home if it got worse. Thankfully, it didn't-- but it never really loosened up, either. I ended up doing a slowish 10.5 miles, and could have gone a couple more, if it weren't for a full bladder (I finally hydrated enough (or too much)).

At 35 miles, this was my highest milage week of 2010. And I only need to do 2 on Sunday to bring Feb. to 115. Not bad for an unusually cold and snowy winter!

18.7 for me today. Was shooting for 16miles, but I've decided that most runs for me end up with Rachel-miles which are about 3 miles further than the intended allotment. Knees felt pretty weak today, which was a little tough with how icy the sidewalks were & the piles of snow at the intersections, but my will to enjoy the run and log the miles overcame that.

4 easy for me yesterday, I tried to get on the trails...no way, not yet, so I am embracing the road running as best I can. Do what you have to do.

I was so proud of my bad self yesterday. I walked in total a little over a mile. My longest single walk was 0.5 mile with my pack (hubby and dogs). I got passed by a toddler, but I got over it. Felt good to be outside.

Yay Yellow! Little by little...
