It Hurts More to Walk than to Run

Haven't run in a while. Decided to take it easy on the distance. Went four, but pushed it the whole way. Ran at an average pace of 9:15, which was much better than I thought I would do. Was a little sore from biking (and wrecking). Biggest limitation was my air, though. I really can't sit around for a month. You lose it all very fast.

Mountain biking in corner canyon. I went up to Coyote Hollow from the equestrian center. Then I went up Clark's. I came down on the Rush trail which was tough because I was looking into the sun often and my brakes need to be tightened. I made it down OK until I got to the last turn which I did not make. I went over the handlebars and into the brush.

I've lost a lot of fitness. My lungs were burning almost from the beginning. I was able to make it to the Clark's trail head without stopping, but I was well spent at that point. I had to take a number of breaks up Clark's. One day I would like to make it from the bottom to the top without stopping. I think I might have been able to do that back in September.

Lysa's Save the Day race.

Let's face it, I'm out of shape. So I used running with my kids as an excuse. I started with Cami (7) and stayed with her until Stacie caught up--about 1 mile. Then I decided to catch up to Sydney (10) so I ran until I caught up to her. I then stayed with her until the finish. After the aid station, I told her to start looking at people in front of her and think of nothing but passing them. She caught several people and finished strong.

Dropped Sydney off at tumbling and ran on the JRP for an hour. I was good for three miles and then it all fell apart. I've been sitting around because I pushed it too hard a month ago and started getting shin pain. My left foot also hurts up front. I thought getting off it for a while would help, but it just hurts all the time no matter what.
