Go you, -t! Have you tried interval running for longer distances? My running coach has us train at an interval (for example, 4 min running, 1 walking), and I've found it's really increased my speed and ability to run long distances.

t /running likes carrots

I have not. That's interesting. I'm using the Nike+ "Coach" for "Intermediate 5k" right now. After my next race (end of the month) I'm going to take a week or two to decide how to proceed. Although I have pretty much decided to do a triathlon, but a super short one, so I have a lot of flexibility in what I do as far as running for the next few months while I build up my biking and swimming abilities to acceptable levels. I figure extra running won't hurt.

Wow, that is a lot of drama, sara.

Pool drama cracks me up. In Jan/Feb we had huge pool drama. It seems to have simmered down to pool quiet resentment.

You don't fuck with people's exercise routines!

Especially old people!

Today there were all sorts of new people at the gym (okay 3 in the pool) and the entire parking lot was full when I left at 6:10 AM.

New session? Summer camp registration?

Since we have several fields used for lacrosse tourneys, peewee football, soccer, bootcamp, I don't flinch too much at a full lot. But sometimes it is warranted.

Wow Kat, congratulations! That's exciting

congratulations, kat!

And congrats, -t! I didn't run today, but I climbed, and my hands are now sore, and stiff. I need to climb more, I think, or start lifting again, argh.

But I have had kale salad and a glass of wine and two cookies, so it's time for bed, so I can run in the morning, woot.

G'night Buffistae!

Congrates, Kat
