I actually mapped out my route, mileage and all, for last saturday's long run. y'all should be proud of me. I'm actually starting to get my act together again. so I planned out a nice little six miler, no biggie. I even ran in the opposite direction I usually take, so it was quite exciting! (though it was on a route I often go biking--hey, I knew it was pretty nice and shaded!)
so I'm not going to go into all the reasons it was epic. or really any of them for that matter. I will spare you all the details. but let me just say that I feel like a true runner now. it's only taken ten years.
by the end of the run it was getting hot and my legs were getting tired. I'm glad it was only six miles.
we also went up to lava hot springs, idaho this weekend and peter and I got a nice ride in. I'm pretty much out of bike shape, so it kinda wiped me out a lot more than it did peter. any hills kill me! I bailed on riding up this one canyon pretty quickly, but I really don't feel too bad about it. pete said that right after we turned around it starts getting really steep and you have to grind it in your granny gear. I told him I was already grinding it in my granny gear!
I think our ride was about an hour long, and I have no idea how much distance we covered. my bike computer is out of batteries, and pete hasn't been biking with one lately. I'm just glad we got out there at all!
and today? well, I let myself sleep in. I really wanted to get to the pool this morning, but when morning came it didn't really sound like a fun idea anymore. kate was up like three times last night/early morning so I was pretty tired. as an athlete mama of two little ones, I've learned to be very flexible about my workouts. if it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world. I just can't let days and days of missed workouts go by. it's a fine balance my energy levels ride.
