Amidst a weird work schedule I am fitting in the workouts. I slept in this morning, which led to a workout in an environment that was much too hot (better planning next time). However, I was completely motivated by a good friend who has been kicking ass in her own running/work-out/weight-loss journey. So out the door I went and headed out for a quick 3 miles, but at a mile and a half I was feeling pretty good and headed up to the next cross road and continued "around the block," which around here means I ended up running 6 miles. I trudged through at a 12 minute pace, but I did it.
The biggest mistake about this was because I had planned on half the distance, I didn't bring any water with me- next time, better planning in the heat. Thankfully I made it just fine, came home 2 pounds of sweat lighter, so I'll be busy catching up on hydration all day. What the rest of the day will hold, I'm not sure.
Next race is 2 weeks away, another sprint, longer bike this time, a few gentle hills and one good climb. Rode the course with a friend the other day, going to have to do a few hill sprints to get ready for that hill, I'm still not very good at the steep work. Might take my bike to work with me tonight so I can do a little work tomorrow morning before heading home and to bed!
For now, I'll stretch out my feet and then I think its time to go pick up a couple tree straps and hang the hammock and do a little relaxing! :)
