| | Out to Rhodes Ferry Park and back with a one mile double up on the trails for 14. Garmin was put on the charger wrong, so no watch to keep pace- about a 10 min mile pace though. | | Add Comment |

On treadmill 8:57 pace. Leg Work- my hip has been giving me a little bit of trouble and doing some leg strength work has really helped it feel better over the last few weeks.

3 hours 23 minutes and 30 seconds. Most of it in the rain. Felt pretty good except for when we ran though a puddle and our feet got soaked. Thank goodness we weren't too far from the car and a change of socks. Slowed during the last few miles. Been feeling good cardiovascular wise, body just starts to get sore around mile 15.

Moved Saturday run to Sunday b/c of yard sale to raise money for the Cancer Society for the NYC Marathon. Had a great turnout and made our goal!
Sunday run was tough! We were supposed to run 20, but I only made it through 16. At mile 5 I was dry heaving, and felt disoriented so I had to quit early. I think it was a combination of trying to run at 10:00 am (when the NYC marathon starts) instead of 6:30 am when we usually run, eating a powerbar before starting that I wasn't used to and just general fatigue.
Hopefully next weeks long run will be better! | | Add Comment |
