    great Bayshore or bust! 6.07 mi 01:01 10:07 pace

    Last long run before the Bayshore half. Legs felt pretty good but heart & head didn't have the 8-10 I was originally planning in them. It was a hot & humid 60* & probably very simi... read more

      Shorts under Lulu skirts always rode up on me too, while others don't...I don't think you are defective. :) Good run!

      I have more trouble with lulu riding up than Athleta, because lulu discontinued the one pair of shorts that had the grippies on them.

      Shake it off. Focus on getting your body rested up for next weekend. You are ready. You could not run another step until then and you'd be ready. The meat of your training is done. Enjoy these last few, take it easy when you need to. And KILL Bayshore. :)

      You must be anti-rest days up there with yesterday's active recovery and another day on the bike today. Your leg muscles might be telling you they need a break.

      Thanks for your comments everyone. Yes, I had a good run and yes, I turned it into a pity party. I think I was hoping that by going to a "group" run that I'd have someone to run with. Seeing the small group and trying to make friends with the one other girl there didn't work out. I've run with this group before and should have expected this to happen. I think I would've been in a different mindset then. As for the shorts-the weather is looking cooler for Sat so it might not matter.

      Hey, you had a great 3 mile and solid pace for your last run Bari before Saturday; great job! It does suck when we fall into negative head games comparing ourselves to other runners. Yeah, perhaps this group isn't a great fit for you, but at least you had the guts to get out there with them to give it a try. I'd imagine there are other running groups where you'd feel a stronger connection. Move on and have a super race on Saturday, no matter your pace!!! You'll rock it!

    Made-up the 2 miles I didn't do this morning because my pre-dawn run sucked so bad. It was insanely hot & if race day is this warm (85*), I'm screwed.

      The heat is definitely a beast. Spring races are sometimes completely sacked by warm temps, but what to do? There's no time to get acclimated, so we're left just hoping race day is mild. And if it's not, we'll sweat through it and move on to the next one. : )

      Maybe your body just needs a break/some rest. What are you - at week 16? That is generally when my body feels like it is never going to recover from training in time to race well.

      Take it easy, maybe a rest day or two is what you need. The temps/humidity are tough to get used to especially when it comes on so quickly. Don't let this one run get you down about Riverbank or Bayshore. Just be smart this month and you will get those goals.
