weekly check-in

[ilanarama]

What, it's almost bed-time (for me, anyway) on Monday and nobody's made a check-in post? I guess I'd better, then. So, what did you do last week? What are you planning for this week? How is your running going?

Here's a quote from Bill Rodgers: Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

ETA: I'm at a conference so have limited time to respond to comments. So why don't you all encourage each other in the comments? It's what this post is for, anyway!

Ran twice last week for a total of 6 miles, not as much as i'd planned, but i didn't get to do anything from Monday to Wednesday because of work. I also got 2 good bike rides in and 2 swims for a total of 6 workouts. I am currently struggling with the idea that triathlon training is causing me to be mediocre at several things rather than my best at one thing.

I'm running my first 5 k of the summer on Friday, it will be interesting to see what my speed baseline for this year is.

Ha! I know exactly what you mean. . .

I did get in a couple of good runs, including one with my Dad, who hasn't been running for the past month or 2. He got me into running, years and years ago and so it was really fun to have a chance to run with him on Sunday - I also saw a big improvement on my pace when I was running with someone else. I'm going to make an effort for both biking and running to do at least one workout a week with a buddy, rather than doing all my training solo.

Aw, how nice to run with your father!
