Hey runners! Here is your irregularly scheduled check-in. How have you been these past few weeks? Any races run? Any great or small accomplishments? Questions for the group?
Accomplishments indeed - I ran my second half marathon, a lot faster than my first, and felt better too. All that training on the treadmill through the winter actually paid off. Yay!
Today, my thighs are sore though - did strides (=really fast short bursts of speed) uphill for the first time yesterday, and since we didn't have a hill available, we ran up one of the big river bridges again and again and again. And again. Ow. Still, the take-away from that was that running reallyreally fast actually engages the shoulders and upper arms too, so now I'm sore in all four limbs. Good thing I don't have to go swimming today :)
