Back to real life today after a WONDERFUL week at Lake Powell. We stayed on a houseboat in a Cedar Canyon (N. Lake Powell) Not much beach, nowhere to run. I swam, wakeboarded, wakesurfed and tried running in the water (my husband got a laugh out of that). Nice active week with my family (sister & brother and their spouses & kids & mom & dad- my one sis who lives in NC couldn't make it- sad!) . I hope not running doesn't negatively affect my marathon too much, its like tapering too soon. Usually when I go to Lake Powell, we have to go into the marina for something so I brought running clothes to run around the marina- but we never ended up going in. Weather was perfect, water was glass. Great time! I finished New Moon and have started Eclipse- what will I do when these books are over?
Ran 8.5 today, my left knee was a little sore at mile 5. This used to happen early in my marathon training when I'd get over 5 miles. I guess the knee is trying to argue with jumping back into training after a week off. I just stopped to stretch a little and its OK. It never really got any worse during the run. So I'm not too worried. |
