Weekend workouts/training/etc
Happy Saturday everyone! I just did my longest run EVER: 10.5 miles at 11(ish) min/mile pace for 2 straight hours. I'm on my way for having a great performance at the Half in 1 month!!! I love my training group - they are what gets me thru - and we had a lovely day, pretty cold but great views on the Capital Crescent Trail.

WOW... that is so AWESOME!!!
It figures that after I say "when I can't swim I am going to fill that part of my schedule with running" that my knees will be crippling. Infuriating!
Today I walked a 5k with a lady - her first one ever, about 6 months post op. I want to go run, but just the short jogs we did hurt my knees, so I guess I'll bike or something instead.
Hey, sometimes you gotta pay it forward, even at the expense of your own exercise! So good on you for walking with her!![]()

oh no no... that's exactly what I considered it! Last Thanksgiving my trainer and another marathon running friend walked a rainy, col 5k with me. It meant so much!!
I just meant I wanted to go run this afternoon for MY workout, but my knees won't allow it. Tried biking but tires are low and I don't have the right attachment to air them up. Bike shop Monday!
10 mile run today with a friend who had a 20 mile training run. She has gotten my through my first 1/2 Marathon in September and I was able to help her with her last 10 miles. I think I will be able to make my goal of 2:45 in Dec for St Jude if not a bit faster if things keep up the way they are going. :-)
