On the road to BOSTON!

5 easy miles working on running properly and taking it easy on the shin. The exercises have been working great and I can get through my run without pain. Just need to build slowly and smart.

Got out for a second run after dark- still 100 out! After the run I stayed outside and sweated like crazy......but it did feel good getting out- 8:31 pace- non-stop.....this is a big milestone for me.I have been having the hardest time staying motivated to keep running without taking a walk break.

easy run

Yesterday I had my lower legs scraped and had a deep tissue massage. This mornings run felt good- Nice and cool for once. 9:19 warmup- 8:02- 7:41- 7:03- 6:35---7:45 average

Did a long bike ride getting 62 miles in this morning- may go for a run or another bike this afternoon when it gets real hot!

Went out for a 3rd bike ride (13 more miles ) when it was 109 degrees and a bit windy- good workout!

Ran the SGM course. Went up with Mike the big foot, Bill the wild bull and Ruthi the speedster. Mike and Bill went for 20 and Ruth and I went for 13. She wanted to run some slow miles....8:00- 8:30. We ended up with 7:40 average. She is a task master...pushing me up each hill not letting me take it easy....THANKS Ruth! This is a run that I really needed to help build some confidence...Legs felt pretty trashed after the big biking day yesterday especially heading up the hills.

8:30/ 8:11/ 8:03/ 8:06/ 7:34/ 7:38/ 7:23/ 7:24/ 7:24/ 7:27/ 7:30/ 7:13/ 7:06

1st mile + was up hill then we settled in pretty good to Diamond Valley. Picking up the pace a bit with the downhill... suprising to me that the pace stayed even through the hills at Winchester and the couple other hills after that. I loved that the pace picked up at the end, overall this was a great training run for me.
