BIG BIG thanks to my daughter who slept in until 9:30. It really helps to "rest" when you have an extra hour to just lay in bed and relax.
Yesterday for cross training, my supportive triathlete (hopefully future ironman) hubby biked with me and my daughter for 30 minutes around the neighborhood. The weather is has been pretty mild for August in Chicago, so I am really taking advantage of being outdoors.
This past Saturday was my long run, a big whopping 5 miles. Whoopee, I did it though. I was very discouraged in the first mile. My knee had a slight throbbing pain, it was getting a bit hotter and running outside scares me in the fact that I might run out of water. All was well after that first mile, which is usually my problem. I have to mentally get myself through it and then all is well. I did it in an hour and 5 min. Just a bit over a 12 min. pace which isn't too shabby for someone who has been in physical therapy for the last 4 months.
Tomorrow is another three miles. Looks like it's going to warm up, so I will just treadmill it at home. Big thanks to my daughter who also sleeps 3 hours during the day. She's really growing!!
Have a great week!
