        Wow Leslie, that's fast. Thanks for getting it all started again.

         

        Mon: 15min easy run plus 30min LB plus 30 min UB + abs

        Did 2.75 easy kilometers on the TM, 25 minutes LB and about 25 minutes chest/triceps. Ran out of time for abs. Plus a 13K bike commute. Nice Spring day. Bit chilly on the way home.

        Tue: 60 min hilly run

        Woke up late (5h20) and now feel sluggish, sleepy and tired. Have been running 5 day sin a row. Maybe I need a rest day. Bike commute.

        Wed: 30 min easy run plus 30 min LB + abs

        Slept in. Nothing to report.

        Thu: 60 min tempo run

        12.56 kilometer easy run with Spooky. Gorgeous Spring day:a steaming 18C with a light breeze. Spooky managed to jump in cement. We were running on this path between fields (where they grow stuff like carrots and peas) and I saw these men up ahead doing who knows what. Spooky ran towards them, tail wagging all friendly and jumped straight in. These men started shouting at her, waving their arms and trying to get her away. As I got closer I realised they put cement down to lay these huge concrete slabs. I apologised of course, but hey, how were we to know Who puts cement down right smack in the middle of carrot fields??? 

        Still feeling tired, which made it feel like a hard run.

        Fri: 15 min easy run plus 30 min LB plus 30 min UB + abs

        First 35 minutes of back, shoulders and triceps. Added on 10 minutes of abs. Then went out for a 7 kilometer easy run. Felt easier than yesterday. Ofcourse, it was a shorter run.

        Sat: 5.5K doggie run plus 30 min boxing

        This morning was a 5.5 kilometer doggie run. Spike was like a dachshund on crack again. That dog is sometimes unbelievably motivated to run, but he's a much faster runner than I am. So when I finally could, I took him off leash and he dashed off. Spooky chased him all the way passing Spike at times. Spike hates it when that happens and nipped at Spooky's legs. It had been raining overnight and darn it if they both weren't rolling around in the mud. Of course, by the time I got to them they jumped up and ran ahead again 

        Sun: 24 kilometer long run (7K doggie run + 17K sloooow)

        Long run today. Decided to turn things around for once. So I first went out for a 20 kilometer with Spooky only. I did this out&back route. I like running out&backs cause if I can run the 2nd half just as fast or slightly faster, I'll know I'm maintaining pace. However, today the 2nd half was pretty tough cause the wind had picked up considerably and I was running over 4.5 kilometers with a strong head wind. Had to lean into the wind at times. Slowed me down by 5 minutes. Ah well, next time I'll do better.

        Then added on a 4.2 kilometer doggie run with Spike only. Darn that dog was more interested in sniffing and digging (and peeing everywhere) than running. It felt really hard to finish those last kilometers.

         

        ARghhhhh, I wrote a nice post for Mon and Tue and RA ate them. I've been having problems posting since the last Firefox upgrade (last week).

                Thanks, Leslie!


                Monday - yoga between school and night class; hoping it stops pouring so I can get outside without having to swim through the neighborhood tomorrow


                Tuesday - AT screaming and crying again, so more stretching


                Wednesday - straight from school to rehearsal, so no exercise


                Thursday - AT so painful I can barely walk; not sure I can keep managing it on my own <sigh>
