Look at me! I have miles! Whoopee!! Woke up and went to spin class from 7-8 AM, went home switched shoes grabbed kids and their bikes and ran a warm-up mile over to the Stake center. Gotta love the Stake 5K, when there are only 5 women running and your best competition is pushing a jogging stroller it's fun :) I tried to keep up with the lead male pack and I did for the first 1.5 miles, but when I thought I could catch them on the downhill they pulled away. I did pass a teenager with about 1/3 of a mile to go, but other than that I was alone 90% of the time. Well, my daughter and her friend rode their bikes alongside me. I could beat them on the uphill, but once we hit the downhill they were gone - cheaters!
I then turned around and ran back to get my friend who was running, she has been fighting knee injuries, but was pushing right along! I ran her in then we waited for awards. During that time it started to POUR! So, right after awards I gathered the kids and took off to run home in the rain behind my son on his bike (so it was slow, but I didn't want to lose him), my daughter and her friend took off...they weren't waiting around for us in the rain! Finished up a bit at home to round out 2 miles of cool down. The running felt good, I wore my compression sleeves and the calves didn't really bother me. I can feel the pain, but I didn't have to change my stride at all because of it. I think I'm going to test them out and run this next week. Last night we did legs and back for p90X and we've got Kenpo tonight. My husband is feeling good and although he doesn't always WANT to do it, he's motivated and sticking with it. Garmin wasn't on for the warm-up mile. Race AP: 7:46 splits: 7:41, 8:11, 7:27, 7;11 (last .03 - the course is short only 3.03). Cool down AP: 9:45; splits: 9:40, 9:52
