Running into June - May 30-June 5

[GLC1968]

I talked my friend Jill into being my runner on Sunday. So, we'll be a relay team instead!! No DNF! That makes me so happy. And, it ensures that I'll actually race my two events to my best ability.

Yay!!

Awesome! (I knew she'd do it! )

Colby - great VFF photos!

I have totally been blowing off my runs lately.

Last night, I forced myself to go after work. Since it was raining and I got a late start, I gave myself permission to go a shorter route. It actually worked out well because I got to take my GPS that direction and previously I had no idea how long it was (mostly paths - can't map it!). Turns out, it was just over 2.5 miles, so not bad. I was feeling a few aches and pains most likely due to avoiding running lately, so it's probably better that I went short. I've got another sprint tri on Saturday, and then after that, I'm going to be working on ramping up the distance again. I think I'll start with runs slightly shorter than 5K three times a week and work back up to my previous volume. I'm also adding more barefoot back in now that it's warming up (sort of!).

I did measure the paved path loop around the pond near my office and it's 0.33 miles. If I can avoid the goose poop, it'll be a GREAT way to condition to barefoot in a somewhat controlled environment.
