Runnin' and stuff

I have been lame about posting lately but have been lurking around. I am starting to ramp up my running a little to get ready for Cleveland Marathon. Unfortunately, the weather here has not been cooperating. I don’t mind running in the cold or snow…but am not a fan of below zero wind chills. It is tough to get anything long done under that type of condition….for me anyway.

I did do a longer run on the treadmill on Sunday….17 miles…which is by far my longest treadmill run ever. I think the mental part was a lot tougher than the physical. All in all it wasn’t too bad. I just set the pace at 8 min/mile and was off. The worst part was the chaffing I realized I got once I hit the shower….ouch.

I need to get my running moved outdoors!

I swam last night 300 swim, 6X50 kick, 100 pull, 12X25 @ 30 sec, 5X200 with 20 seconds rest, 50 easy, 3X100.. Total 2350 I think. I pulled every other 200 as my legs were a bit dead from the run on Sunday.
