Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Met my friend Paula and my not so good friend the wind this morning.   We opted for an east/west run to avoid the nasty south headwind.  I felt pretty good.  I am sore from Saturday and there was some tightness in my left knee but I was still able to run.  Off to Dallas for 2 days of treadmilling........I am going to try to enjoy it.

Happy Running!

***I love it when my husband reads my mind!  He ordered me a new pair of running shoes in PINK to match my clothes for Boston!   He really had to reach outside of himself because he normally only orders me blue.  What a great surprise to an otherwise depressing day!***

AM:  Ran 6.6 on the hotel treadmill.  I was doing the "Newton Hill Workout" from Julie and I started out way to fast.  I finished half of it and had to get off and get ready for work.  Want to try again but smarter and slower.

PM:  Ran 3.4 on the hotel treadmill after riding the bike for 10 min while waiting.  My legs started out trashed but ended up feeling good.  I am sure my legs will be heavy and tired tomorrow.

Happy Running!

Tried to run yesterday, but the treadmill was taken and I could not wait.  I had only brought indoor clothes and it was too cold outside.

Met Paula this morning.  We warmed up for 2.5 miles and then did hill repeats to simulate the BBK workout I missed today.  Only our hill was tiny (but longer) compared to what we run at Parkway Palisades.  We finished up with a 1.5 mile cool down.

Met Paula this morning.  We had a good recovery run from yesterday and tried to not to push to hard because tomorrow is a 20 miler day.  Tried out the new pink "Boston" shoes - worked great!

Met the other Boston bound BBK's for our second 20 miler.  I felt much better going into today because one was already behind us.  It was also very nice that the wind was from the south and only 7 of our miles were into the wind.  Felt really good and started pushing too early and thought I was going to die the last two miles, both were into the wind and one was up hill but the pace for them were 8:09 and 8:00 so still faster.  Need to work a little bit more on pacing but it was a good run.  Michelle N and Michelle M treated us to chocolate milk and bagels afterwards - THANK YOU!  Ice bath  for 15 min aftwards.
