Notes:
- Whew, I need to get out earlier for my bike rides, especially when I am riding the trails, which take more effort! I was baked and so done by the end of my Monday ride. Glad I could get it in though!
- I had a revelation about my running shoes Tuesday morning, which maybe I’ve had before. I did not understand why they were wearing down so fast when I am running such fewer miles then I was like, “duh Kim, you run so much slower you are still spending a lot of TIME on them.” Duh, duh, duh.
- Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights I had a hard time sleeping because of an ache in my lower left leg. Yep. the same thing that was bothering me a month (or was it 6 weeks?) ago. I got up and got ice and took meds. I am going to ask my doctor about it next week. I iced it before bed and took Aleve Thursday-Saturday nights and slept much better.
- My Friday ride went so much better than Monday’s. I was on my road bike so I could go a lot faster, and it’s just less work. My neck felt sore though, and my toes still got numb in my new shoes. GAH.
- What am I even doing on these long runs. Ha. My pace is a really fast walking pace, but I swear I am running. I feel good and enjoy them, so I will keep doing them, but I won’t go much farther.
- I got rained on for the last hour-ish of my long run. I wasn’t expecting the rain to start then and didn’t have a visor, but it felt good.
- I ended the week with a walk with my friend Kris. We always have a great time catching up and the time flies by!
