4 nanners

Got in 7 miles at Barton Creek this evening after work.  It was pretty hot but not unbearable.  I had a banana, blueberry, spinach shake this morning.  A banana with lunch, a banana late afternoon and another banana after my run.  I wore my wide brimmed safari hat and a long sleeve shirt.  90% of the trail being in shade really helped too.

Temp was 101!!

Hill Repeats

Did 9 miles in Barton Creek this morning in just over 2hrs.  I did 3 repeats going 1.5 miles out from the HOL.  That's a great start to my hill training for Big Bend.  If I can start easing into them now I should be in great shape.

Blah

Got in a 1:55 10 mile at LBL this morning before work.  My alarm was set for 430 so I could be on the trail by 530.  I wanted to take my time and not get in a rush.  I had a good nights sleep but felt like I had no energy but kept on truckin' and knocked it out anyway.

AM Run

Got in a good 8 mile this morning at LBL, my first early morning run downtown in months.  Part of the reason has been my foot but the main reason the last several weeks is because we don't have any hot water at our office.   It took me 1:35.  I mixed in plenty of walking along with some good running.  I'm feeling good, been doing some good stretching too.

Sunday

Ran 9 miles in Barton Creek this morning.  Mark, Sam and I started @ 630 and did about an hour together, Mark bailed and then Sam and I did another hour.  Good times, great friends!!  Off to an excellent start this month.  Gotta take it one day at a time

Run

Got in 7 miles on the Greenbelt in 1:47 yesterday evening.  Hot, hot, hot but it's all good.  Feeling good about getting this running month off to a great start!!

Running

I mostly RAN the 7 mile loop at Lady Bird Lake this evening after work.  I did it in 1:18 vs 1:28 last week in pretty much the same conditions.....HOT!!!  And it felt great to actually feel like I was really running I might add. It's also a positive way to start the running month after falling short last month.  This evening was even better because I didn't really feel like running at all....stressful day.....didn't get off early like I was supposed to.  But that's how it goes sometimes.  You force yourself out there and get a nice surprise and get in an encouraging run!!
