Training: beast of burden
June 25, 2008Today, I ran in 84*F temps (with 81% humidity). Now, that’s just crazy talk…
(and I still feel like I might puke).

Returned to running today; a full two-weeks AFTER the good doctor gave me the OK to run again. Today, it just felt RIGHT. Besides, my shoes have been begging me to go outside… and I just couldn’t let ‘em down.
Speaking of shoes, my fave running shoe is on the endangered list (shoe is being discontinued). So, today I ordered a back-up pair (even tho this current pair only has a little over 100 miles on ‘em).
I’m actually a little teary-eyed about the whole thing. I mean this was THE SHOE. An honest-to-god match made in heaven. My SOLEMATE…
Dude– don’t bring me down. Don’t even try. ‘Cause I had to run. Had too. And it was raining. Really raining. Down, down…
(although… the abs weren’t the only thing that caught my eye!)

Crap: ’cause I’m SLOW– and still working on base training (and just trying to get my mileage up). I’m still running a full 1:30 min/mi LESS than where I was at 12 months ago. Slow going…
Tastic: ’cause at least I’m out there. at least I’m out there.
Saturday Report: 3.72 miles, 55*F cloudy
Sunday Report: 3.73 miles, 51*F light rain
(13.5 miles for week– met my goal)
3 miles yesterday on indoor track (it was cold AND rainy… give me a break). Indoor track still beats dreadmill any day. But, c’mon SPRING… I like to snort fresh air when I run. Oh, and that Sunday morning bacon and eggs smell is HEAVEN (been a while since I’ve experienced it… and this is usually the only way I get to experience bacon & eggs). For god’s sake, bring on the bacon spring weather!
