Sunday workouts
10-mile run in the pouring rain. I was sure my shoes weighed 5 pounds when I was done, but the scale said only 2.
I really love having friends who never let a little rain get in the way of a good run. 4 of the 12 regulars from our Sunday morning social run were laced up and ready to roll at 7:30 this morning.
So, what did you do today?

Gym opens in a little more than an hour, & I'll be heading there for 20 minutes on the bike and 25-30 minutes in the weight room.

7 miles in what felt like slightly cooler rain forest conditions. Was aiming for 10, but my knee got twitchy and i decided it wasn't worth it.
Followed that with a 1 mile cool down.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Gotta love the head wind. I was going over 22 mph and averaging over 20mph when I came around the side of the hill and got smacked with the afternoon headwind. That instantly dropped my speed to 15mph I lost 7 mph right there. Then add in the hills and I was hurting.
However it was an improvement over the last time I rode it, because that time I averaged under 15 mph and I had someone to pace myself and draft with. This was a solo ride.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
Nothing formal but today is the of the Kids' Tri my club puts on so I was the volunteering. I helped tear apart the metal rental fence and stack it into piles. I figure that was my strength training for the day.
