Weekend training / races (My new 10k PR!!)
I am sooo stoked!! My very first 10k was 1:20:27 and my IT bands were killing me the first block. Today in the freezing winds at the beach I PR'd at 1:09:15 with very little knee pain! WOOT! I had asked my trainer what I should aim for and she said 1:17... so I was too thrilled to wait until Monday and I texted her today!
At the 5k turn around I PRd again .... 32:37 vs last week's 33:33!!

Congrats on your new PR!! 10 mile run today. It took a while and I bet we walked half of it. Not part of the overall plan, but my running partner was not up for all 10 miles. This time next week, I will have finished my 2nd 1/2 marathon!

Awesome work, all you runners! I wish I could run, but I have a back issue that flares if I run more than a block or so. Sometime high spirits make me run anyway, but there's usually a price that takes a couple of days to pay off.
So I cycle! 43 mile ride yesterday and 32 mile ride today. SO beautiful here in the Northwest, foggy with sun breaking through in beautiful places.
today I biked the 4 miles to my work (the gym, actually ;) ), did 20 minutes hard at it on the elliptical, core work, then biked back (there is a pretty big hill... huge to me... 30mph going down it. awwww yeah!!!0
