I went on a bike ride today. Almost 16 miles. I need to get up to 26 miles for my race in 3 weeks so that's not too good but I had to take some time off due to some health issue and didn't lose any fitness at least.

Tomorrow I'm volunteering at a race all day. We're the first and last Aid station on the Run course and I have a tradition to uphold of not shutting down  until the last racer comes by!

Ran 10.12 miles on Friday at 9:49 min/mile pace as a solo run - wonderful temp & sunny here in DC!

Today (Sunday) we have Parks Half-Marathon, part of the RRCA regional championship. Not gonna be racing, as it's a long run for our marathon training, but I'm looking forward to it despite being kinda sleep deprived - had leg cramps last night so only got around 5 hrs sleep. Decided to up my potassium supplements to see if that helps...

On the weekends I focus on activities instead of the gym. 15 mile bike ride Saturday and plan on a Kayaking adventure today. A comment on wieght loss expectations from this type of activity. I have found that when I have a big activity day it takes 2-3 days for it to result in any changes to the scale. Anyone else experience this?

I find in general it takes that long for things to show up on the scale. That includes over-indulging too. mail

For things like increasing the intensity of my workouts -- that takes two weeks.

I ran 10K Saturday.  I got out an hour later than I wanted to because of a crisis at the office.  It was HOT, and I had to walk portions that were in full sun due to the heat.  I finished at 15 min mile......not stellar, but okay for me.  I run like a heard of turtles running through peanut butter.......BUT I RUN!!

Oh, and I just ordered the most obnoxious pair of new running shoes this morning.....multi neon colors...and of course Saucony...my faves.

I can always tell when it is time to pull the trigger and get new runners........Saturday was THAT DAY.

Tonight I have advanced boot camp.  Yeah.............
