Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

1. 25 walk with the dogs and bik ride trolling for garage sales...and I found a goodie--14 books (about grades 5-6) for 4 bucks! Muaha...did I mention it is 88 degrees? EEWWWWW

7:15 run. 72 degrees 96 % humidity. End of run was about 78 degrees 70% humidity but feels like 80

Gross...Legs felt good. No ITB issues just felt a little tired. I attribute that to squats and lunges. My breathing was off though. I had to keep walking b/c of side stitches. HOpefully I will get used to the weather and that will remedy itself!

I think i'm afraid/apprehensive to run more than 3 miles now...

Did weights and abs

Muah...no pain...tee hee..very hot...Okay I had a side stitch..I think it is water related...but no sign of the ITB

update: FRB isn't letting me respond to posts or send post so I am not ignoring you!

Tracy--yes next saturday. I'm thinking about going for a 10 miler on Saturday since I haven't really ran long since my 1/2 at the beginning of the month. I hope it isn't too hot next week!

Rat-from yesterdays post I was on the ellip for those 4 miles...but today I went over 3 with no pain! Yeah!

about an hour of bike riding. some times fast sometimes not.

The ride actually stressed me out jsut b/c of how people drive. When I run on the streets I can run in the ditch or grass. Not so much with a bike.

I have been feeling underappreciated lately and thought this would help. I followed it up with a nap and still don't feel like me. Well now off to work.

I have to admit that I walked a lot of this. But not b/c of pain. My friend called and we gabbed. I ran maybe the first and last miles. NO PAIN. I figure I will baby my legs till race day. Then I will hurt like heck again but then it is recovering mode.

That makes sense right?

my brother bought me a race ticket for the October Chicago Urbanatholon. What a nice wedding present!
