Hangin' Loose

Took the day off of work.  And did some much needed sleeping and cleaning around the house.  Then went out for a awesome first ride of the year.  MissFit was tough to keep up with.  She is a animal on the bike.  And in much better shape for riding then me.  Just another thing to work on.  Bike decided to have a flat after I was done.  So that will be something I will need to fix soon.  Going to try and get 2 days of biking in for XT and run 3 days.  Seems to work best for me.  Was planning on riding in SG.  But riding around WJ area worked just fine too.  The route we took had plent of hills and crazy drivers. 

AM-  I did a bad attempt at my 100 push-ups on Sunday (60s). And wanted to wait till I was rested and go for it. So this morning I did. I hit 80 before stopping for a sec and then pushed on to 100. It was ugly but I made it. I am going to go back to week 5 and work back up to week 6. I want the 100 to be strong ones. But it was great to hit it. Now to work on 100 smoothly.

PM-  Went out for a quick easy run.  Legs were tired for some reason.  And so kept it at a easier pace.  Did the 4 miler loop.  Uneventful just adding some mileage.

Rest day today.

Did some bridges, planks and flamingos again today.  Hoping to get in a few other sets of stuff too.  And later get in a run after taking my girls home.

PM- Went out for a run after I dropped the girls off. Was a different little loop. With a bigger uphill and a nice downhill to train on. Ran it with MissFit. Was good run.

MissFit and I went out for a long run.  Meet up at her place and headed out.  Was a bit windy.  But very doable.  Had a good run with a good mix of hills up and down.  And with the wind at our backs, face, and sides.  But we were able to get alot done on that run.  That just only makes me feel better about our up and coming races.  Slowly but surely I am getting back to marathon shape.  And MissFit ran very strong on this one.  And keep me going.  Now just to find a good route for us to run on.  Starting to get a good feel for the area.  And loops on it.
