5K race at Idlewild Park in Kentucky... first of the year.
30:06, 9:43 pace.
It was an incredibly difficult course. The most difficult 5K I've ever done by a long stretch. So it is hard to gauge the physical fitness I've gained recently from looking at this 5K time. Not really fair to myself to do that. This course was more what one would do for a hill workout! Not to mention it was the hottest it's been this year and probably 90% of the course was in the sun. All of those things considered, I think our time of 30:06 was excellent!
Casey - I have a couple of training ideas for helping out both of our cardiovascular fitness while running. I know we both struggled with that more than our legs.
The disc golf game after the 5K is not to be counted out as a good extension of exercise for the day. The course is quite challenging: trees for the discs and terrain for the legs. We only played 9 holes, but that was a good amount for me at least.

Lazy posting, still working!
Friday lifting - More arms, chest, and back work. the paper is misplaced for the time being.
Saturday - Mostly rest. unbelievably productive around the house. That has to count for something, right?
Sunday - My first 5K race. It was a super hot, super sunny, and unexpectedly hilly 5K race. 30:06 9:43 pace. I walked for 45 seconds at least, to avoid getting sick or worse. I finished the race with Steph, and was pleased to have made it at all. I didn't "leave anything" on the course that's for sure. After food, water, and a break, we went on to play 9 holes at Idlewild.
Monday - Spinning, and DAMN was the loud annoying girl both loud AND annoying today. It was a reasonably easy Monday class. I only got pushed a few times, and never to breathlessness.
Weigh-in 201 - down 2 lbs, and 10 in the last 6 weeks.
11 days till we're in the air. I'm going to push really hard these last few days. I'm in line to hit my target weight, but any extra would be a welcomed bonus. I'm really interested to see what I look like under my fat :)

Weekend work
Saturday morning Steph and I got in 5.2 miles in 52 minutes. 10 minute miles for 5 miles. Awesome! I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by the distance, but it came and went pretty easily. Running back, in the sun was pretty rough.
Aftermath. Saturday evening, and most all day Sunday, my knee was sore. It was tight feeling, like all the tendons that connect there were taught. I rolled my IT band a few time, and that seemed to help. As of Monday my knee is feeling much better. The first few stairs were a bit rough, but it feels fine now. I guess I'll take it easy in spinning class
probably 1.8 miles or so walking around Gulley disc golf course on Sunday

Weekend work.
Lots of bad eating this weekend....
I got out for 3.6 on Saturday running at 9:45 pace. It was really hard to get going and get out the door, but once I started moving, i was comfortable and strong. I felt pretty good when I was headed back into weber oaks, so I decided to take the optional loop to the left and extend my run a bit. I was hoping it would push me to 4miles, but no luck. I was a bit short.
No arch pain since the new shoes.
Sunday disc golf at Mt Airy. I mapped it as best as I could on MapMyRun, and it came out t0 1.8mi in a straight line, probably 2.25-2.5 when you figure our extra of-course jaunts.

The Weekend
Friday, nothing. Unless tossing the Frisbee around in the back yard counts. :) I did break a little sweat.
Saturday 3.1 run at the Girls on the Run 5K. With some speed sessions built in.
Sunday a horrible round of disc golf on a beautiful course that was fun to walk. And there was a lot of walking searching for discs or chasing down my horrible throws. Who knows how much we walked, but I bet it's farther than any of the recent courses we have played.

5 Weeks till Greece
Weekend Exercise.
Sunday Disc Golf - 2 miles, wet and windy
I didn't get much in this last weekend. My distance running has been curbed by my sore arches and bad shoes. I would really like to get at least 2 good runs in a week going forward. 3 if I can squeeze it in. I did get new shoes at the Pig Convention, and I think I'll break them in before our scheduled Wed run. Just a like mile or 2.
Monday exercise
Spinning class was AWESOME today. The loud girls were separated in the back of the room by another spinner, so I didn't need to struggle to hear the already loud music and instructor. No Lady BlahBlah today either. Ok, so her art is cheap and catchy. It just doesn't do it for me. It's not motivating or driving. Sitting front and center in the room (like the teacher's pet in Elementary school) offers good fan air flow, and less distraction from the loud bitches in the back. Today there was something else too. Karen kept pushing me today, and I think I pushed her too. After class she said to me, " I thought I pushed it too hard during the first class, so I was going to take it easy for this one. I guess not :) " (quoted smile). She would look at me during class and ask if I could add more, or ask if " I could push myself breathless". It was great. I kept up all class, and felt very good at the end. on a side note, My gym shorts, socks and shirt were still wet in the dryer this morning, so I needed to wear my casual shorts, tall white socks and a pooey tshirt. The normal, inumerable drops of sweat decided to form a pool today. I was really hot.
Monday Weigh-in - 207 down 3 lbs from last week. I need a few more weeks like this to get to my goal once I start lifting and putting on mass.

I feel pretty good about it.
Tonight is group ride night!! It's going to be beautiful! Can't wait...no bonking this time.

Weekend exercise.
Saturday
I ran 5k with G, S, and Daryl. This went well, but it was seriously humid. We were practically swimming it was so thick. Our pace was a bit faster than earlier in the week.
Disc Golf estimated 1.5 miles around the Mason 9 hole course(twice).
Sunday
Daryl and I squeezed in 2 rounds at woodland mound when we realized the sun was shining.
It's 2 miles to get around this short course, twice.
I'm not tracking my intake, but I would have been sad about my performance this weekend. With Daryl in town, there was a lot of eating and lots of drinking. Then, it's food day at work. we currently have :
Chicken Dip + chips
Rubens Dip + bread
Garlic Dip + Bagel chunks
Pepperoni cheese ball and crackers
Turkey Chili
Bagels + creme cheese
Cake
Brownies
Girl Scout cookies
Weigh in may be a little disappointing this morning. I'm ok with that.

Weekend exercise.
I finally got to get out and run with Stephanie. It was a great 3.2 miles around my neighborhood, and surrounding areas. It was a little chilly, and breezy, but not uncomfortable once I warmed up. I felt good the whole distance, and haven't felt any ill effects on my knee. I did cut up my toe a little with a sharp toe nail. The issue is being managed! It was great company, and I'm looking forward to another run.
Got a bit of a hike while playing Harbin. I keep meaning to wear my pedometer to figure how far of a walk the course is. I don't feel comfortable trying to estimate the distance.
