I've been feeling crappy this week and skipping workouts. After I got home from a late day at work, I just needed run without any goal in mind. Brought my favorite music, and my Garmin but never looked at it. I felt better by the end.
Nothing felt right with this run. And it was way too hot and sunny for me. Late afternoon run in the hot sun. Kept trying to increase the pace each mile for 5 miles which involved all of my concentration. Last mile was my cool down. Did I mention ... read more
Still a fantastic effort Dena! The heat can be brutal.

I was in wave 6 out of 25, which made it so I started the swim at 7:17. I think the last wave left at 8:25. I had a hard time catching my breath in the beginning of the swim. So I ended up doing a little breast stroke until I felt less panicky. It ... read more
It was raining hard when Bill & I went out for his long run of 6 miles. But the blister on my right foot and my stomach were causing problems. So we did one loop around the park and headed home. I always run better in the morning.
Rockin' job. Keep up the good work!
1 day agoThat's exactly what I needed last night. Every workout right now has a planned distance/time/pace...and I just needed a break from that structure. I needed to run just for fun.
1 day agoYes, I was just reading about bringing it down to the basics and remembering the fun part of running. You clearly gave an example of this!
