Well....
Do I post this as a ride report or a run report...cuz it was both!
A friend and I both signed up to do a duathlon in August. She's already freaking out because she had hand surgery in December and really hasn't ridden her bike much at all lately (60 miles year to date).
So today, we did a multisport day - ride followed by a run (I have a duathlon on the 14th, a hilly one that's a 5K, 24K, 5K, so I'm freaking out in my own way, as I'm not doing much running and somehow have to be in shape to run an equivalent of 10k!).
We rode through Rock Creek Park - 24 miles at a pretty leisurely clip - her chasing me most of the way - and the 3.5 miles running from her house - me chasing her most of the way. She's really gotten the running thing going lately, and it remains a struggle for me.
I need to change my attitude on running, but not sure how, other than to keep signing up for these crazy events which force me to run for training.
