With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

hot tub & 2 mile walk.  taking it easy for the day.

knee feels good- quads are sore.

Back to life, back to reality-

p90x stretch and ab ripper in the morning.

feeling great, thinking I'll try and run a little or elliptical tomorrow morning.

Went out to get a couple in with MR in the morning.  After .5, he had to quit (his heel is really sore).  So we walked the rest of the 2 mile loop for a nice morning run.  Saw someone else running in the hood.  It took me by surprise, but it was a pleasant surprise.

After we got home, MR jumped on the bike and I managed to get 2 miles in before I ran out of time.  Probably a good thing to start back slow & easy anyway.

legs & knees feel great. :-)

What a slow run.  It took me 4 miles to feel warmed up.  My legs were tired too. 

My paces were all over 10mm.  MR rode the bike along side me.  Didn't see any other runners out today, but it was back down in the low 30's so maybe they were smart & stayed indoors.

Signed up for a 5k next Saturday.  Rumble on the Lumbee...race entry gets you free admission to the chili cookoff afterwards.  I'm starting to see a theme here...running & food.  2 of my most favorite hobbies :-)

I think as long as I can get my legs back from being sore from the marathon that I might do well.  It's a fine line between recovery and being lazy.

A little warmer & a little later today so I caught a fabulous sunrise!  The trees are getting ready to explode with blossoms & the daffodils are all up with the buds prepped to open.  I am so glad spring is coming!

MR went running with me & wore his VFFs.  Less heel pain with them than the running shoes.  We ran 4 miles.  paces were (around) 10, 10, 9, 8:30.  The last .09 we raced and I had a 6:43 for my pace.  No way I'd be able to run that fast much longer than I did, but it's cool to have a fast pace somewhere on my blog :-)

I noticed when he was racing me, his turnover was at least 2x as fast as mine.  He looked like the roadrunner.  It made me laugh because it was comical, but it really seemed to work (he beat me) with speed.  Something to think about for my speed workouts in the future.

We had a short little dance-off later in the day and I actually won 2 of the songs!  I'm not singing the "comeback kid" song yet, but I did feel fantastic when I finally beat him!

Took the day off to get caught up on necessary evils of yardwork.

Literally spent 830 am-300 pm doing yard work. MR was out working with me and we never did get everything done.

At 330 I got a short run in. My first day running in shorts this year!

It is taking me a good 1.5 - 2 miles to get my knee warmed up.

Tomorrow I will ride bikes w MR and run on Sunday.

Another hour of yard work after the run then we took buccaneer b to see a movie and ate more popcorn than I thought

Was humanly possible. Hooray for me!

Ab ripper x in the am before lawn duty.

30 mile bike ride with MR.  Beautiful early spring day.
