Too Fast!!

Do you ever think maybe you should be caged up so kids can go on field trips, look at you, and throw peanuts at you??  Me neither.


Yesterday we ran downtown.  Downtown running will be done pretty soon.  It is warming up so it is starting to get a little more crowded with shoppers,diners, and walkers.  As I think about it I don't really have a big plan of attack after the Tuesday cools down.  We'll see.  I guess my schedule will change pretty soon.  I'll have to give some thought to it.  My friend Dan is running the Minneapolis Marathon this fall, so I'll see what he is up to, and maybe run some with him.  There are so many options when it warms up.   I really should do more trail running to help protect my legs.  Last year I was breaking down prior to my marathon.  I should cut on the pavement running a bit.  One of the days should be trail running.

A couple thoughts I had.  Biking helps me run better.  My legs feel better when I have a lot of biking as part of my workouts.  My legs always feel much better now after runs.  Also humidity and heat help too.  Not 90 and humid, but as the temp. is rising I feel better.  Jerry and I both noticed that last night.  I was coming off a 6 miler too.

For the record, I added another 7 miles to my ride home.  (to 66th and back)  I time trialed a bit on the ride too.  I tried pushing it a bit.  The run was 6 miles @ 8:01 pace.  My legs feel better than they did last week.  Hopefully I have a good Wednesday.

Hope you have a great day.

cya!!  :)
