The Next Step

Boston:  We are vacationing this week on the east coast so just trying to get in a few miles while sightseeing and having fun with the family.  Today was warm and just ran around the city taking in some of the sights while I went.  Felt pretty good but it was close to after I ate so stomach wasn't feeling the best.

Didn't get a run in today just busy with the family.  We did go to the pool and I swam around 150 meters.  I have been thinking about trying a triathlon so wanted to see how the swimming would be.  Found out today that I have a lot of work to do if I am going to make the swimming leg of a tri.

After a couple of off days I was glad to get back out today.  I felt good and the running was easy.  I ran down along the Charles River and it was a pretty day.  It was warm and humid though and just kind of cruised along.

We were in Maine today on the beach and I ran down along the ocean this morning.  It was warm but a beautiful run.  There were a lot of people out today which made it interesting.

Still in Maine today and ran down along the ocean again this morning.  It was overcast this morning which made it feel a lot better and I wanted to do some MP miles today.  I didn't feel the best today but still wanted push it a little.  I ran 2 miles easy to warm up than ran 4 MP miles at 7:00 to 7:15 pace.  I felt better as I went along and nothing special but good to run some faster miles.  Once I get back home I am going to have to take it up a notch and get in better shape.

Back home from vacation and ran right before dark. It was still warm (87) and humid.  I didn't have much time after dinner before I started because a storm was coming in and wanted to finish before that.  Because of this I felt pretty bloated the whole way.  I ran super easy and felt good other than the stomach issues.  I made it back just before the storm started and was really glad to get in a run after traveling back today.  Looking forward to getting back in the routine next week.
