Chapter 2 page 417 - TR 156 3 laps of training goodness

Dog Days of Summer - YES, that's what we had today and this evening and still yet tonight.  HOT & HUMID!  It was 91 degrees at 7 p.m. when we started off on our "easy" 4 miler.  JH from our half mary class joined "C" and I for 3 laps (4 miles).  We had a great time - talking about different races and running clothes and training and anything else that came up.  We did a 10 minute walking warm up and then did 2:2 at about 12:00-12:30 m/m pace.  The final 2 minute run was a sprint and I pooped out after just 1:05 (WWWWAAAAAYYYYY too fast!) Oh well, it was a fun challenge and a fun way to end the running segment.  We did a 1.3 mile walking cool down (except there was NOTHING cool about this evening's weather!).  Rest day tomorrow, woo hoo.

  2. Way to challenge yourself at the end of your run...that's really the best feeling when you know you have given it your all. I FINALLY read your guest post--I'm having a PF flare up at the moment and I needed the reminder that running is still OK!
