Awww- not a slacker, Darce! Being injured just threw you off your game. Time to get back in the groove. Go slow. We have time. For me consistency is the key- even if I only do a little. Losing focus is too easy. Although I must say the goal of the marathon is the bomb. Makes each workout like a step on the way to the top.
I hopped on my bike at 5:20 PM. Chris is working from home today which means he's still working. Ugh. Being salary has its benefits and drawbacks. I'm feeling slick in my new gear- running skort, new IPOD, and wrist watch (which I didn't use :). Not to mention a brand new haircut! Loving it. Not sure the skort was the best choice on the bike- a little high riding which caused some thigh/seat rubbing. I went 8.2 miles today- added an extra mile on at the end for good measure. 96 degrees. Sweat was running down my face halfway through. I did remember to wear gloves today so that I could grip the handlebars- completely screwed up my wrist the last time I rode trying to keep my sweaty hands in control of the bike. Had to wear my slingback New Balance b/c there's still a gaping hole/scab on the back on my achilles from the damn ankle weights. It hurts like crazy when I put on my running shoes- there was always a little rub spot there but the weights killed it. Guess I'll be waiting for that to heal before I hit the pavement again (OK with me- it's hotter than hell here for running right now).
Can't wait to hear about San Francisco, Darcy! Do tell! It's on my list of places to go. I thought of you while I was riding. I think often about how you've done this twice. It's very motivating to me that this is not a case of the blind leading the blind :) I'm soooo blind (near-sighted right now).
