Taking splits from Marion - I'm too lazy to look them up: 4:05:21/12:00.59 Splits-12:32,12:12, 12:09, 13:04, 12:23, 16:19 (potty), 11:49, 12:22, 11:28, 11:29, 11:19, 12:24, 11:31, 12:14, 11:11, 12:21, 12:59 (lights), 12:16, 13:53 (vpb), 10:26

 

I went along as Marion's pacer and to help her get through her first 20 miler.  The weather was beautiful and the companionship was great.  Big thanks to Luz and her hubby, Jorge for dropping us off part way up the canyon and then feeding us fruit afterwards.

I'll get a run in tonight - but just wanted to let Marion and Luz know I blogged in my Adventures in Running blog with pictures from yesterday's run.

PM - legs are pretty tired today.  I did a 5 mile loop that included the gym. One hour of weights for arms, shoulders, core and abs.  I was struggling through 21's on my biceps and a cute guy named Justin jumped in and started spotting for me.  We then alternated spotting each other for a while and he says he will show me some other exercises other days. He is training for his first competition in October. (sigh) ....If only he was 20 years older or I was 20 years younger.

The plan for tonight involvescleaning, stretching and rolling.  My knees both started hurting tonight and (even though I am majorly stressed from work) I decided it will be best if I just take the day off from cardio work.  

New heater being put in the pool today. Hopefully by the weekend it will be warm enough to swim in.

Drove to work and then walked around Wheeler Farm before heading in to my cubicle.  I fell for a stupid Trojan email from UPS and now get to battle a computer all day.

Went over to Wheeler Farm again at lunch time and did another 2 miles. I'm not too motivated to work extra hard today since I will be working most of the weekend.

Lots of trail miles today.  I enjoyed part of the time with Leslie.  Unfortunately, heat and hydration issues started bothering me around 8 miles.  I did my best to cool off in the streams, but was bonking bad.  Lots of uphills - I am tired.  Time to clean up and then head to work.
