I WasGonna swim Friday morning, I just needed a rest. So I biked to work, work only, no swing by the pool.
Saturday I met TH at NT for a ride! My first "group ride"! Her goal was 3 hr ride, so what we did was 2hrs loop, she joined for short run/walk, then she went back out to finish. I didn't know what the plan was until it happened. I was pretty happy that I wasn't looking at my watch, how far, how long, etc, like I usually do.
The morning was calm but foggy. After a missed turn to the NT entrance (new houses threw off my localization system) I arrived early enough to calmly prep. All morning it seemed like I was forgetting to pack something -- food! This new keto thing means a good eggy brekkie then maybe some raisins if needed. The OWS crowd was small, the St Louis Tri was the next day, and I didn't see anyone else I knew there. Feel so out of place.
But not on the bike. I'm home there. TH led out to PdS (population 328) with a soft tailwind. In PdS she shared the news about TB's cancer :( We turned around and headed back, a little slower than the outbound. My throat was a bit hoarse from talking loud, I'm not used it! Ave'd 16.7 mph overall, 128 bpm. It seriously felt faster than that. But I'm only going to get faster :)
The brick run felt great, good cadence and HR. After this I went to BRR to get new road and trail shoes. I'd been waiting until I was a "real runner" again. Or was I waiting to see if I'd ever run again? My Adrenalines went from model 15 to model 18, the Cascadia from model 9 to model 12 in my interim year. BRR had a new store, big change from the little one I was used to. Yet they kept the professional little store experience. So happy for them :)
Many more errands on just a few olives from Fresh Thyme, then home tired hungry, but not pained or sore. Yay!
Sunday the plan was 90 minutes. What happened? Haha, I always ask that but I know the answer. I left in my new shoes planning to do little cloverleaf-type loops around the house. The new shoes, I didn't carry water, and I had a potential OfferUp sale to plan. Took off to the Lemp brewery doing 3 min run/2 min walk intervals -- so 5 minute cycles. Easy math that way. I watched my HR, tried to keep it under 140, mostly succeeded. Brewery, Broadway, LP park, schedule the OU sale in 45 mins, map out a route home, get home just in time to grab back and run to the meetup at the Shell. This point I was at 1:25. Decided to keep going until ....maybe 2 hours?
At 1:57 on Cherokee St I saw I was at 9.97 miles?!? Holy cow, and wow! Went towards the house, realized I was 10.5 and wanted 11. See this is the answer to the above question of how these things happen. But wait there's more. Got up to 11 miles and thought 11.11 would cool. Hit that and stopped the watch at 2:10:55. Ugh, wouldn't 2:11 be cool too? So restart, walk, GOAL!
The run felt good, the fatigue was in both hips. Garden, dog bath, clean truck, some cookup, housework, rest. Kept moving and busy but not crazy. The data showed a good run, easy pace and decent enough cadence and HR.
I FINALLY crossed the 10 miles of running a week line! New shoes, group ride, brick run, back-to-back run. Busy weekend! More please.
