Cool Running for the week of April 2, 2006

[ttdriver]

Sorry this is late! MY BAD!

Sunday: rest day for me (although who rests on weekends?)

Last week was a bit under par for me, so I hope to make up for it this week. Got me a brand new pair of New Balance shoes .. I went with the 1023s this time .. they have all the same cushioning as the 1221s, and they are lighter! We shall see today how they perform! DH and I plan to hit the trail this afternoon, hopefully for 6 or 8 miles.

I haven't posted much - been very busy visiting colleges and so forth with my graduating son. I have been running though! I can't tell you the exact mileage but I did run about 5 times last week. Wasn't able to run yesterday because of the college visit but will be back at it tonight - that is if it doesn't rain too hard.

I got my run in today and I was going not too bad well I couldn't get my HR over 160 no matter how hard I pumped it I went 6 miles in 70 minutes and was on an incline of between 1.5 and 7 I dunno my Cardio vascular is getting reall really strong right now it's soooo increadible. And another thing I am noticing is when I am running I am sweating 10x as much is this like an adaptation to exercise the ability for me to cool myself off is getting better????

I dunno maybe I am Weird.

Re: Cool Running for the week of April 2, 2006

Hey Sarah, my friend who I train triathlon went was explaining to me that the more we sweat, the better our 'machine' or body is working. I've noticed that as I become more fit, I sweat a lot more. It's funny, I used to be kinda proud that I didn't sweat! WRONG!!!! Now I'm proud that I do. I still dont' stink though. *winks*
