Drive by - really need to post ON the day I do things - had names of things wrong - easy to do when it was anything more than 3 days ago & I post in haste when at work.

Wednesday = brisk walk with school + dog walk after work
Thursday = Cathe - STS - Meso 1 - Week 3 - Back & Triceps + dog walk
Friday = just a dog walk
Saturday morning now & have TWO sets of class school reports to write that I'm getting edgy about.

Helen - I agree with posting day of, I forget something if I don't. Alternately, I need to go to the basement to retrieve my notebook and put it off until I've forgotten and another day goes by.
Vantreesta - Good luck on your race today! We're having beautiful weather, hope you are too.
Waves to Cleda!

5/4 - dog walk

5/5 - dog walk

Had lunch with my dear friend from childhood. It was an hour drive each way to meet her, and then we went to an art show where she had some works. It was a wonderful day and she is a very talented artist, but by the time I got home I just didn't feel like working out.

Today we have walked the dogs, then went to my granddaughter's lacrosse games. I still need to work out and do some gardening.

Today my lower back is sore from too much gardening, but I managed to clean up some beds, plant the tomato, pepper and eggplant plants that we bought. I still have some flowers to get into pots, but I think I need a rest from that today. Maybe a real workout will happen?

good workout! Not too long (48min), hard bits but nothing totally killer & I matched weights with ease, noted to go 1/2 kg more next time

Vantreesta · 05-09-23, 11:58 AM

Sorry not to post back after the race. My allergies have been really bad since late last week so I haven't had much energy, plus we were at our friends' most of the day on Sunday playing D&D. Last night I had grief group and was just too tired after that to think enough to post. I'll try to come back later for personals.

So the race went pretty well. The first mile was fantastic; I only walked 15 seconds for a drink break, which was very surprising since I've been doing intervals and hadn't run more than 3 minutes straight since at least last fall. I was feeling good till about halfway through and then those 153 jump squats came back to haunt me. I was sore anyway but it wasn't bugging me too much running, till I started getting a little tired. So I was fighting through that pretty good until a hotspot on my right arch started getting worse and became a big blister. The last half mile especially was really rough and I'm so grateful there were two other runners going about my pace who helped me push through and keep running to the end. If not for them I probably would have finished limping over the finish line. I ended up getting there a little later than I should have and I missed on the website that the shorter distance runners were supposed to park at the clinic and shuttle over. I got to the race site 15 minutes before check in was supposed to end and the guy told me about the parking that the shuttles were running every 15 minutes. Argh. So I ended up just parking on the street bc I was afraid if I had to shuttle that I would be late. Little did I know, parking on the street meant I still had a .9 mile walk to get to the actual race start. Argh some more. I started walking it and then was so afraid I would be late that I ran about the last third of it. Had I gotten there when I should have none of it would have been a big deal. Anyway, running before the race was fine and I got there just in time, but walking that .9 mile back to my car afterward with a blister was not so much fun! But I made it back and the blister is doing much better. The course was a little longer than 5k, which they did say on the website. My Garmin said 3.32 miles. When I did this race several years ago it was a different route and I did it in 35 minutes, I think. So 40:15 seemed pretty reasonable for this one given the slightly farther distance and the body issues I was dealing with. Overall I was happy with it. I stretched and showered after I got home and then took a nap after lunch.

Yesterday I was just too tired to think about Murph training so just did yoga.
