July Running

[skhill]

Our heat wave is over! Running is so much more pleasant-- I'm not sweat-soaked withing .5 mile. Did a 5 mile tempo run around the neighborhood park, and I wasn't the only one out there. There was a family (mom, dad, teenage son and daughter) going the opposite direction. First time we met, they were all running together. 2nd time, dad was out front, then kids a bit back, and mom bringing up the rear. 3rd time, dad still out front, then kids walking, and mom gaining on them. Last time I saw them, dad and kids were all walking, and mom was still running... Great fun to watch.

I ran 2.2 miles today, for the first time in almost 2 months. It's so nice out that this morning I went for a "walk" before breakfast, on what is supposed to be my rest day. I felt good, didn't take the Garmin.
Hip is achy on right side, but it's been achy since the cycling season started. I've been making myself start doing the up dogs again, but I barely remember.
Glad I ran, but I should have rested.

Yoga. I need to get back into yoga and strengthen those hip flexors...

Just finished W3D1 of C25K. It was warm, 85 degrees.

Yay!

Just did a sluggish 30 mins. At one point a guy passed me who smelled SO bad that I had to back off until he was a hundred feet or so ahead. Not that I smelled peachy either, but it's funny how sensitive I get when I run.

I've had good intentions about running with my dog, but it hasn't happened much. But today, I was met on my way out the door by a hopeful doggy look, so why not... The first 15 minutes or so, she wanted to go much faster than I did, with a couple piddle stops. After that, she kept getting slower and slower. Quit trying to run when she decided that a brisk walk was plenty fast enough. She's a fit and athletic young dog, but conditioned more for sprinting than a prolonged more moderate effort! Handling the leash was a bit awkward, but not as bad as carrying a bag full of dog poop when that time came. All in all, it was fun: not much of a run for me, but good exercise for her. We'll see how much energy she has this evening...

yasso's. Only managed to do 3. It's been way too long since I've run consistently!
