Weekend workouts/training/etc
Just came home from my longest run with Team Challenge - total of 11 miles, did first 3 with my mentees who do a walk/run training, then caught up with the runners for the rest of the run. Averaged 10:55min/mile, so we were going a bit fast for me in the last 2/3rds of today's run.
Tomorrow is long run with my FTM group - 9 miles at 10:30 pace.

Did the 5k sponsored by my employer today... wow it was HOT. My trainer has been telling me air conditioned treadmill training is not going to cut it for the Florida heat and humidity - while I knew she was right, I didn't expect to feel like I was dying!
Official time 33:07, average pace 10:40, placed 5/14 in my age group!
Active rest day tomorrow - walk on my lunch break OUTSIDE, and then a long walk on the TM (sketchy area to walk after dark) or elliptical work.
My dad got their pool functional finally so I will be adding swimming to my workout routines.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Logically, these training tips make sense but it's not until we really get it do we have that "a-ha!... oh, duh!" moments. Like drinking coffee before running or not drinking water 1 hr before a long run.... took me several months before I realized that those things might be causing me to pee several times into a long run. Big duh.

Nothing for me this weekend. I had 12 miles on the run schedule but my dog who is very old was very sick and, quite frankly, I was afraid to leave her alone.
After a two trips to the vet and several hundred dollars she seems some better so it's back to business this week.
The fur-babies always take priority, I totally agree!
