Good luck Jess.
Did a 40k time trial yesterday (on the bike). Yesterday afternoon and this morning my butt cheeks were killing me. Ugh.
This morning, I met my running group at 6 a.m. () to pre-run the 8k twilighter course that is our goal race in 3 weeks (or so). Was about 70 and really humid. We ran more-or-less as a group, stopping at every mile or thereabouts to discuss the route - what to expect, where water stops would be, hills (which they said it was a "hilly" route, but it isn't - much less so than my own neighborhood) - stuff like that. By the 4th stop, it was getting harder and harder to start back up again. The old hip flexors were complaining and it took a good 1/4 mile again to get the legs swinging. And boy, were we all dripping sweat. Stop, and the sweat would just bead up on you arms, your face, your legs. Blech.
But - it was good. Good splits. Good pace (nearly race pace, it certainly wasn't the "LSD" long, slow, distance runs we'd been doing on Sunday mornings. The goal race - which goes off at 8:45 p.m. - nearly my bed time - has a reputation for being HOT....so...that will be the challenge.
