Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

I am still having a difficult time believing a former couch potato in flabville is such a stellar runner!!!! What inspiration, I have hope!!! ANd congrats TT on getting half way to an incredible goal!

A nice week so far by all, with TTDriver forging ahead and inspiring the whole group. My contributions for the past 2 days:

Wed ~ 2 mile walk
Thurs ~ 3 mile downhill jog (w/ brief walking intermission)

For Fri, I wil be lucky if I can steal away 30 mins of time to exercise, hope to add something to the group before I take off for the long weekend! Happy running, see you all around next week.

YA I ahve been doing exercise Videos lately Betty I have really been suffering with Migrains and it's no fun I just wanna get all this under control. I find that running in the heat is sooo hard and well having to do it on the TM in the house heats the house up too much so I ahve to stay off of it for a while till the weather cools off. If hubby is home I will go for a run outside for sure. This sucks I ahte not being able to I could but the heat is redicuklous and running for 1 hour pumps the heat in my house up 2 full degrees HORRIBLE when you are already uncomfortable.

I'll be back BETTY you know it. I gotta work out this TM darn it!!

5 miles again this morning, another best of the year, but still not under 50 minutes yet, 50:13 today. Still up in weight from last year at this time so what should I expect.

I think it's finally time for some new running shoes, mine are starting to give me blisters. They have about 270 miles on them so I'm due, especially given my weight. They've taken a beating.

Three days til race, talked to my niece last night and she's psyched to run, it's her first long distance race ever. She used to sprint in HS track.

Be back soon.

HOT? Let's talk!

I did 13.5 miles today on the trail. Got an early start at 6:30 a.m., the temp was 80 and the humidity was 90% ... Had a full 25 oz of electromix water (I ABSOLUTELY SWEAR BY THAT STUFF!), along with an extra 32 oz of unsweet iced tea ... that kept me good and hydrated, but I SWEAT OFF A TON....My running garb weighed 2 pounds when I got home...ALL SWEAT. Yikes, and another 3-4 months of this steam heat to go....

This week's mileage: 6.3, 6.3, 4.3, 13.5 = 30.4 miles

Tomorrow, rest day at Cypress Gardens ... I'll be in the wave pool all day.

HAVE A TERRIFIC HOLIDAY WEEKEND!
