It's FRIDAY! And not a day too soon.
It seems like three weeks ago, but looking back, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon was a huge success. Mike Reilly and I were working the microphones at the finish line and had a GREAT time. We actually "called" the men's race on the JumboTron. It was like doing play-by-play at a football game.
I did NOT want to get up and run on Monday, but, because I've switched from running to training I did. I got in my 8 miles [tracked with my Garmin, so I know I got in the distance] using a 4/2 run/walk interval.
Wednesday I tried doing my daily run using a 10/1 run/walk interval and I'm pleased to say that it worked very well. Stretching the run during the week seems to help with the long runs on the weekends.
Tuesday and Thursday were motorcycle days. No, it's not exactly cross-training, but sometimes you've just got to ride.
We're scrambling just a little trying to get ready for the Cruise. I can't wait!

ORN: Monday, June 5: 8 miles along San Diego Bay. I used 4/2 because my legs were so wasted from the weekend.
ORN: Wednesday, June 7: 44 minutes, 10/1 plus 5 minutes walking warm up.

I just want to say that it was a pleasure to meet you at the marathon expo in San Diego & to hear you speak at the TNT pasta party. Due to an injury, I had to take the diversion so I finished in enough time to see you cross the finish line, then call my friend in as she finished her first marathon. It meant so much to her. We are both saving our signed race numbers. "Waddle on!" :)
