I am BACK! I got a 3 miler in on Thursday and a 4 miler in at high noon in the heat and humidity on Saturday. My heart rate is pretty comparable to where it was (not bad for a 4 week off period). At 75 degrees and 90 % humidity, I was only about 10 seconds per mile slower than a month ago. I'll be starting back out running every other day for a week or two.
Bring it on!
I could post a few choice pictures of the bruises on my shins from going up and down the ladder during my house painting hiatus. But, I will spare the sympathy.
P.S. I am glad I didn't end up running the Grandmas Marathon in Duluth. It sounded pretty hot 76 degrees at 10:00 a.m. I will have to hold off now for a fall marathon for my BQ.

Yeah, you're back! I feel bad about your bruised shins even without the pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteSHE'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK!! Now get out there and get those miles in so you can make it to Boston!! You know you can do it!!

ReplyDeleteWoohoo...the running Black Bear has returned!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding on Grandma's...I keep thinking "gee, that looks like a nifty marathon to run" (well, maybe not with 1950's words like gee and nifty), but it seems like all I ever hear about that race is that it's hot. And humid. Probably a match made in hell for marathoning.
Hey there Mary...didn't realize you haven't been running for a bit. Hope all is well with the new home and glad to hear you're back.
