With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

shred in the morning- still working on mastering level one before I move up to level two

evening bike ride.  ended up with 7.4 miles. 

slept in, which meant it was wicked icky out, but oh well....

Ran 5 miles, then ran/walked 2 minutes on 2 minutes off the rest of the time to make it 65 minutes total.

got up earlier, but had a meeting to go to, so I had to cut it short.  It was cooler than yesterday and overcast , but still so humid and not really comfortable.

Tried going faster since I was running shorter.  Avg'd 8:49 for the 3 miles. 

Had some funny little pains off and on when I'm not running in my "good" knee.  Something I'm going to keep an eye on. 

up till 3 am so an early run wasn't in the books for today

this must just not be my week to run- got a side ache at mile 2.5 and struggled with it the last 2.5 miles- it really affected my pace.  avg was 9:50 for the whole run.  14 hours later, the pain is still kind of there.  is that my cue to not run tomorrow?  I guess I'll see how I feel in the morning.

still a little pain, so I went with the shred this morning, then I went horseback riding :-)

Not really any sort of exercise in that, but it was fun.  I can't be as cool as KP and have my own horse, so I have to get excited when I get to ride other people's horses.

I'm really enjoying my brooks shoes.  They have more cushioning than my mizunos, and just feel more comfy. 

Went out early, but it was already hot and icky humid.  I got a breeze when I ran facing south, so that was a nice treat, and I got some shade at the end of the run for a good finish. 

I ran slowly and focused on my breathing because I was still aware of the soreness from the side-ache 2 days ago.  Didn't have any problems, so good stuff.

spent the rest of the at the beach (and traveling in the car).  I just wanted to lay in the water all day, it felt so good. 

shred level 1

time to get running again...the demons are chasing me and I need to pound them into the pavement
