Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean. --John Muir

 

I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

5 in 48 min. in the morning.  Then ran a little with a friend on an indoor track in the afternoon.  My knees didn't like that.

My Garmin tanked between runs AGAIN, so I just ran the same 5 miles I did on Tuesday.  Since I had a hard pilates class last night that made my inner thighs sore, I just ran this 5 nice and easy in about 50 minutes.  Knees felt ok.

Did 5 miles after work in about 50 minutes.  Knees a little sore now.  Probably won't run tomorrow since I'm at my max for the week.  Will lift upper body weights instead.

Did a new run on a hilly loop on a warmish morning.  Felt great.

Did it in about 50 min. and will probably be a little sore tomorrow from the hills.  Knees feel fine.

Ha, ha.  Today was the last day of classes.  I was tired of grading and thought I'd go for an afternoon run.  I was a mile into a 5 mile loop when I suddenly remembered I had one more class to teach.  I quickly ran back and took a fast shower and barely got to the class in time.  So I only got in two miles today.  Only need 6 more to hit my week's goal:  no problem.

This was supposed to be an 8 mile run, but I did it in the heat of the day and got really hot.  I stopped after 7 miles and got a burrito and a drink and walked home the last mile.  Ha, ha.  Felt good and didn't feel guilty about cutting the run short.  :)  Did the 7 in about 1:05.

Tried to swim a mile after this 6 mile run but realized I was more tired than I thought.  Only swam about 1/3 mile and then got out and worked on my tan.  Nice last day of vacation.
