Rock Bottom Run Club : 2

I finally made it back to the Rock Bottom run club tonight. I usually have to pass since the start time is when we usually have our family dinner plus the temperatures have just been way to hot to run this early in the evening. I was supposed to do 5 miles according to my marathon schedule, but a combination of the blazing sun and the fact that I would have to add 2 more miles to the regular 5K everyone was doing, I punked out at 3.

Run: Treadmill

I slacked off on Friday and didn't do my 3 mile run. I did, however manage to complete my longest run to date tonight...8 miles!!! Unfortunately I had to do it on the treadmill since I wasn't free to start my run until later in the evening and running in the dark is not exactly safe for a chic-a-dee like me.



BTW, it took me 94 minutes.


PS. I used my mew shoes tonight. Really love them so far. Guess we'll see how they hold up on the pavement later this week.

New Running Gear

Today's supposed to be a rest day for me, but my new Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11's and Belkin arm band were just delivered and I'm dying to give them a test run.

Run

Another run around the neighborhood. After my body punished me for running too fast yesterday, I really took it easy to make it through my 5 mile run today.

Run

Wasn't able to go run with the Jack Quinn Club today since the hubby had to stay late at work, but I still managed to do my 3 miles around the neighborhood. I was hauling ass for the first mile and even started off at a <10 min/mi pace, but I got a wicked cramp in my side and had to take time to walk it off. This was the first time during a run that I've had a pain that bad. Must have been from the large dinner I had just an hour before.
