Let's do this!

7 on river trail 1 and 2. easy pace.  8:30 avg.

7.5 on river trail 1 and 2 again. So so nice out. Avg pace is dropping and I realized once again, that if I am not with anyone and not talking (which I love btw) I can hit faster paces without getting breathless. My fitness already feels much improved. Wow it does that kind of fast. I am always kind of amazed.

weights. 30 minutes elliptical with intervals.

7 miles with Rachelle, Jen and Cam. Cam pushed the pace a little more. I didn't have my watch on so I have no idea our pace. But it felt good. Nice morning out. 

12 miles! Haven't done this kind of mileage for months! Miles 3-6 were partial steep uphill then to incline going towards the Mouth of S.F. canyon. The views at mile 6 were incredible as I was near the massive windmills near the canyon. Amazing. Flipped around at 6 and came back down. Miles 6-9 felt good because it was decline then downhill. Mile 10 was fine. But 11-12 were hard. I just don't have the endurance. I could feel chaffing between my thighs, it was getting worse as I got to 12. I shed a few tears in the last mile. I had a mental war in my mind about whether I can run UVM half or if I will fizzle and die. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried. oh my!

5 easy miles. weights. 10 min elliptical sprints

8 on the trail. easy again.
