Smith’s Point Triathlon Race Report: Wet and Windy

Smith’s Point Triathlon Race Report: Wet and Windy

Yesterday was Smith’s Point Tri. I never mentioned that I was doing this one because even though I’d signed up for it, I wasn’t sure I was going. The weather was tentative all week and while I’ve been working out, I don’t know if I could say I’ve been training the way I should have been before a race. We’re talking one brick workout in a couple of months. And I’d never done a race in the rain. The bike makes me nervous enough. The thought of biking on slick roads in the rain? That’s even scarier. We picked up our race packets on Saturday afternoon, still hedging whether or not we were doing this thing. We’d decide at 4:00 am, depending on the weather. Thinking I might not be going helped me sleep a little better on Saturday night, always a good thing. And when I woke up?...

On the Road Again

06/27/2010

I went for an outside run this morning. 2.5 miles. Yay! I surprised myself, in a good way. It’s been pretty much a month since I’ve run anywhere other than the treadmill. And my treadmill runs have been pretty awful. Lots of walking. I think that’s a mental thing between me and the treadmill though. This morning I ran 2.5 with only one walking break for a hill. My hip feels good today too. Yesterday I walked and it was a little twingy. Then I went to physical therapy and for the rest of the afternoon it was a little more uncomfortable. I often find though that for the hours after physical therapy, I’m more uncomfortable than I was before. Anyway, I got up this morning, and I felt great. I decided to run 2.5 outsideĀ  to see how I would do the first time out. In my race...

Running Is Joy

Running Is Joy

I went running this morning, 3 miles. It’s still too icy by me to run outside, even though we are being teased with above-normal temperatures for a couple of days, so this run was a treadmill run. But that’s ok, it was still a run. And maybe Sunday, I’ll be able to meet with the road. I haven’t been running as much as I should in the past month or so. I haven’t been running as much as I’d like. But I’m getting back. And maybe a break or a change isn’t always such a bad thing. I’ve also added strength/core training to my workouts, I’ve played on the elliptical, and I get an occasional swim and bike in (also not as much as I should have been but that all changes now with race season starting again soon). I say that the change/break isn’t such a bad thing...
