Run, Bike, Swim...repeat. That is our goal this summer. Mike and I are signed up for two Triathlons and a few running races. (yes we run for fun and have fun)
The weather was really nice on Friday after I dropped Phoenix off at school. I had planned on swimming but the lanes were a bit crowd for my liking. Got home feeling bad that I didn't workout so I thought I would venture out onto the pavement. I haven't ran in 5 months. 5 months is a really long time not to run. I thought because I was swimming so much more that it wouldn't be that difficult.
Oh my lungs felt the burn. Yes, it was sun shiny but there was also a wicked wind. (why is there always so much wind?) But once I got past my lungs hurting and my legs wobbling I was feeling good. Then I looked down at my time. I felt awful for the time I was getting. I had to keep telling myself. "Self it's been awhile. You will get better." My time was actually the same that it had always been 14 min miles. I went 2.5 miles that day. I paid for it all weekend. It's a good thing we have some good IB lying around the house. I'm just happy with myself that I got out there and did it. I have some time before I need to up my miles but you know it was a good start.
Yeah SELF!

Good for you. I ran about 100 feet total today chasing Clara outside and I'm worn out. Obviously I am waaaay out of shape. :)
