5 miles

Ran a 5 mile, hot and tedious run with Karen this morning...what was I thinking!! Tomorrow is an O-F-F day!

Hill Work on the Treadmill

Set the incline to 15 and did 8 x 1 minute intervals up the 'hill'- quite the workout and quite tiring. Looking forward to a day when my arms and legs don't hurt..

off to the gym...

Rowed 5k circuit on machines. managed to figure out that adjusting the incline on the treadmill to 15 is very similar to walking up a very steep hill and better than a stairmaster! Did not attempt to swim.

Bike - 8 Miles

I decided that instead of taking an 'off' day today that I would make use of the return of my trainer and "ride while watching". . . this entails riding really hard on the bike while watching a movie of choice. I rode just about 8 miles and knocked off a movie that's been sitting for far too long.

9.5 Miles

Ran 9.5 miles this morning with Karen, Art, Helena and Colleen. I think that Chancelorsville Battlefield will be my new haunt. I love the topography and dirt roads. It was a cool morning, much better than the 8 miles out there last Sunday. I suspect starting at 6:40 instead of 8:00 has something to do with that. Feeling good, but realizing that I'm not going to have my mileage up safely before North Face; Erie will be tough..but it's doable.

3 easy miles

Ran 3 easy miles through downtown this morning. It was hot but it felt good. Decided that I'll hit the gym tonight and swim, just to switch things up a bit. :)

Erggin' and circuits

Well, since it's summertime and it's too damn hot to run and since running alone really is out of the question I've decided to hit the gym more and cross train more than usual. Don't know how this will affect my training but it kept me in marathon shape for GW, so what harm is there in hitting the Rower and weights at the gym?

8 miles

Well, ran 8 miles this morning with Karen and Irene out in Chancelorsville Battlefield. It was H-O-T!!!!! Shoot me now

Gunman attacks jogger at UMW this morning

So this very well could have been me; given the location and time... looks like I'll be investing in some pepper spray. Gunman attacks jogger at UMW this morning "(10:20 a.m.) Fredericksburg-area police are looking for a gunman who attacked a woman jogger at a UMW track off Hanover Street early this morning, authorities say. The reported attack, which happened about 7:30 a.m., caused a lockdown at parts of the University of Mary Washington, but the school has reopened since then..."
