Another great day

I know it's Friday, and I know it is supposed to be our rest day. But I've found through experimenting the past few weeks that I actually do better on Saturday when I run a very easy 45-50 minutes Friday morning. I had another great run today, although it was quite humid. I can't believe that I take seriously the "cold front" that came through and dropped the morning temps to 72. I'll take whatever I can get.

Looking forward to tomorrow's mere 6 miler, and then will be going to a party for my Grandmother, who is turning 95 on Monday. She rocks. She was sick a couple of months back and we really thought that was it, but she's back in full force. She's even driving, so watch out!!
Another busy weekend, but I find that not stopping after the SAturday run helps keep me going the whole weekend. I'm not as beat on Sunday either, although I do like to take it easy.

Anyway, everyone have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow. With this easy run, I'll have time to go back to bed for a nap before time to get to the party. I tell myself that every week we get up early, just go back to bed if you feel you need to, but I never feel like that after it's over. Always wide awake. I'm hanging on to that one endorphin!!

Big day yesterday

I had a great 4 mile run at a pretty good pace (for me), and was planning to ride bikes with a friend this morning, but she called yesterday afternoon to see if I was free to ride then. We rode 18.5 miles and it was a tough workout (probably partly because of that 4 mile run). So I took today off since I did double duty yesterday. My legs are tired, but not sore. I was excited to get back into the riding. I love to ride and used to ride a good bit, but time is fleeting. I'm hoping to get more regular rides in, it certainly feels a tiny bit cooler than running. You do ride through pockets of cool air occasionally.

Instead of exercising today, I'm cleaning out my closet. We'll call it XXT.

Great run this morning

I had a great run this morning, despite the heat. It wasn't nearly as humid, so it didn't feel as warm as Saturday. And besides, I didn't run 12 miles either. Merely 4. A great time and didn't push too hard. It should be a great run since I've rested the last 2 days. My back was singing to me during Saturday's run, and then I kayaked Sunday morning, so I decided Monday and Tuesday should be rest days. I did feel my back a bit this morning, but nothing terrible. I need to add one more mile during the weekday runs so I'll be sure to hit that 55 minute mark, but I'm going to have to really suck up to my running buddies to get them to do it with me. I can do it by myself, but what's the fun in that?

Have a great day, and I promise I will, too.
