So, I am back in the groove. Thanks to my friend Kristen, I have someone hassling me to get me out the front door and on the road.. thats my golden ticket, if you can get me out the door... I am set. I know what I need to do, and I will do it. For some reason I just dread the door. Thus Kristen's sole job is to hassle me til I do. We ran last sunday, it is 3 miles from my house to hers, so I run my first 3 and then run the last 4 with her, then i ran with her tues, wed, and thursday (monday was a day off and friday cross training) Then this weekend I ran Charlie (the dog) since Karen was out of town for 3, then ran to her house, 3 more, then ran the last 4 with her. Tried out the new shot blocks with extra sodium... (uhhh by the way, I then understood why the extra sodium ones are margarita flavored, duh, w/ salt) they where too bad, although I prefer the berry ones, probably b/c they are less salty tasting, and the margarita was missing some tequila... regardless, they did a great job as I had plenty of energy and steam to finish the 10.5 and go about the rest of my day...
Yesterday I was to run 7, and I did, I ran Charlie up in the forest for 4, getting in some killer hill time and then Kristen met me at my house and we ran the last 3... was defiantly tired, but I did it, and didn't feel like I ran 17.5 miles this weekend.. great great news... I feel like there is hope. Next weekend will be rough b/c i'm going to be in murrieta for a wedding... but I think i'm going to be ok. then kristen is going to italy for 2 weeks, so running solo will be a bit rough, but she has gotten me back in my rythme, so I think I will be able to make it til she comes back...
Wohooo for 17.5 and 2 long runs in a weekend, thats a first, and a most mileage in two days, so i'm stoked... and nothing hurts to bad
