I'd guesstimate I've put about 100km on my bike so far -- mostly through long 30km rides, but it's all good. The problem with doing long distance riding is that it hurts the bum! On Tuesday I'd guesstimate we did about 31k out to Mississauga and back... it's safe to say I won't be able to comfortably get back on my bike until at least Friday!
On the subject of Fat. Well, I've gotten Fat. Somehow I've gained about 15 lbs. NO - okay, I KNOW how I gained 15 lbs, but that's not to say I'm happy about it! I really need to get out for long Sunday runs again -- I run during the week -- but it's the lack of that super-long run on Sundays that's killing me. This week I think I'm going to try to get up and head out at 7:30am to try to get a decent 7km in before I meet my Learn-to-Run clinic for our usual 3k... hopefully that helps some.
Speaking of my LTR clinic. Sonia, I know you and I had big discussions about whether or not I should do it - and I'm glad you encouraged me to, and I did! I have a VERY good group of about 8 people. They're all varied in terms of speeds and ability, but they've all got a great attitude, and knowing that they're there gets me out in the evening's and to the Sunday morning RR meets to run with them.
As much as teaching the clinic may be holding me back in terms of distances --- it's actually doing good work for me in terms of speed (as I run with the faster of the group on Practice Run days) and giving me a sense of community again. I'm actually thinking of signing up for the 10k Clinic myself starting in October...just so I can improve my 10k abilities.
That's all! Hope you're all well! Sonia -- I'm going to miss you when you move away, hopefully I can find a weekend to come visit you before!
