Monday: My legs were extremely sore from Sunday’s 6 mile run, but i went to the Bodysculpt class at work anyway, and just took it easy on the legs.
Tuesday: It stopped raining just long enough for me to get in a 5K at lunch. I found myself getting really bitchy with myself. “Bitch, this hill is nothing. You will have to do a worse hill than this after running 12 miles in mere weeks. You will not walk up this hill.” What can i say, it worked. I ran up the damn hills.
Wednesday: Step aerobics was challenging. My energy level was low. After work, Lance and i and the pupton went for a nice 3 mile walk around Lake Lynn.
Thursday: Day of rest. I needed it.
Friday: I did a short running warm-up (1.5 miles?) before heading to BodySculpt class. Ran into Cindy on the track around the soccer field. She had a 10-mile race this past weekend. I hope it went well!
Saturday: I got up and went to Shelley Lake for my long run, but this time i went South towards the mall. And i ran past the mall before i turned around at the 3.5 mile mark to make it a total of 7 miles. I have to say, some of those bridges and creekside walkways are pretty creepy, and in my head i was going through the various ways in which i may be accosted. It actually made me feel better to “prepare” for these situations in my head. Happily, i made it back without incident.
Sunday: Another 3-mile walk around Lake Lynn. These walks aren’t strenuous, but i count them as cross-training.

Hey Audrey! Race went well. No complaints.
As for Shelley, ever since my car got broken into *and* I was stuck in the thunderstorm, I have the creeps about Shelley (the trail to the mall). $Bill and I ran it two weeks ago and at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning, there are a lot of runners on that trail so I feel OK about having to run it…if I have to go by myself. But with Bill, I knew I would be safe.
