RUN 5 miles in 46 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 12.4 miles, twice to work
Had home inspections and vet appt, so in and out twice today. Totally ineffective day, distracted and too much going on. On top of those errands I sent out the first offer on my new home, but spent the day looking forward to response.
The run was great, mind was calm for that.

I weirdly keep thinking this was a 20-miler...
RUN 13 miles in 2:06
Funny thing -- this was my first half marathon time! Now it's a comfy, hot-weather casual pace :)
The goal was to hit a midweek total of 20 miles, since I'm not able to run Thursday. So I combined and hit a total of 20 yesterday and today. But for some reason when I think about this run, I think "I did a 20-miler!"....Um...NO!
Great run, water only, no fueling. Hot but not terrible for me. My clothes were saturated with sweat!
I looped around TGP and the neighborhood before running into work. Parents gave me a ride home!
That's why I missed the Thursday run :)

I was only going to do 4, maybe 5...
RUN 7 miles in 67 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles
The original plan was only 4-5 miles, but as I was running I realized I might miss the Thursday run. Then I realized that if it feels good, do it. So I did it :)
Since the plan was only a short run, I was in my Kinvara 2's, and didn't even notice over the longer distance. I usually run in these shoes only on the track or <5 milers.="" p="">

Run, Interrupted, AGAIN
RUN 10 miles in 1:36
In the first 1.25 miles of this run I had multiple texts, calls, and emails. Ugh. But once I got through them I was left alone. Alone, indeed! I ran the Meremac Greenway with the plan of visiting Shoogie when I got done. There were two showings on the house today, some open houses I might visit, and I was helping TV move some furniture. BizzyBee!
The run was great, I was sorta sluggish going out the door probably because I didn't have Sugar to get me moving. Once going, it was steady. Light rain and 99.9% humidity. The greenway had flooded recently and the path was cleared with a blade, leaving a wall of pushed-aside mud with a layer of slick mud in between. Hot, sticky, and quiet :)
Sugar and I went for a short walk, she was tired before we looped around the parking lot and back to the building. And there's a contract on the house! WHOOP great way end a week of stress and bad news.
Yesterday's gel didn't seem to have any effects. Another WHOOP.
NUMERICS
RUN 45 miles --- 5 mile increase over last week, can I hit 50 this next week?
BIKE COMMUTE 37.1 miles
WALKIES 1.39 miles

Run, Interrupted
RUN 11 miles in 11:46
and Gawd knows how many stops for phone calls, texts, emails, ugh. I usually don't run with my phone but between the dog being in the hospital and the house being on the market, I go even more crazy not carrying it.
But the extra phone use this weekend was worth it! Sugar is much better and recovering, and last night we got an offer on the house. OMG if the house sells, that sets the ball rolling fast for my next few weeks!
TV and I were going to run Greensfelder, but I needed to either stay local or run Sunday. We chose to run local, running one of his "roots" (that what I thought he said at first, LOL) around the UC area. A brief bit of trail, otherwise sidewalks and greenways. I was all a-chatter, so much to say and think and share and work out in my head. He's so patient!
The goal was 20 miles, he was able to finish that but not me. Not today anyway. I was off to go house shopping, the next housing priority!
I ate a potato last night with no problems, and ate a gel in-run today. See how that goes!

Potato success
BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles
Potato test successful! At least so far. I'll have another tonight to test for tomorrow. Or should I just test gels...?
Going to visit my Shoogie soon! Trying to get stuff done at work and get caught up a bit.

Two a day, twice? And my first 2015 group ride!
RUN 7 miles in 59 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles
RUN ~2 miles in ~20 mins, with RM
BIKE RIDE 11.5 miles to RM's and back
Sugar is still in the hospital, my little Battletank Basset came through the surgery but looks terribly rough. My visit was short and full of tears.
To keep from being home alone, I joined up with RM for a run. Sick of riding in the truck I decided to ride over there. Then we rode back to the house with CM. I rarely do anything like this in the afternoon/evening because I feel guilty leaving the dog behind. So glad I did it!
I ate a baked potato with dinner, see how it goes!
