What a difference a week makes. \u00a0A little bit of warmer weather (followed by some snow), a free evening, and a “sick” day meant 2 weekday runs!<\/p>\n

Tuesday <\/strong>was in the mid-60’s and sunny. \u00a0I had to run! It was a nice easy heart rate run on the Metrodome loop (clock-wise) with nothing exciting to report, except some chickens<\/a>. \u00a0I wore my Kinvaras <\/a>and did the 3.2 miles in 28:27 which is probably my fastest heart rate run under 160! \u00a0I wear the Kinvaras maybe once every week or two, just to mix things up a bit and help make my feet stronger. \u00a0I only wear them for these shorter runs for now. \u00a0I might inch my way up in them. \u00a0They’d be a good show for the triathlon I think.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong> night after work I had a meeting at Chatterbox <\/a>in Highland Park \u00a0and immediately after a going away party for a YNPN<\/a> colleague in Nordeast. \u00a0That made for a lot of bike riding, 19 miles to be exact. \u00a0Fortunately it was all pretty broken up and the weather was great.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong> I was home with Nadia. \u00a0Daycare sent her home on Thursday with the suspicion of pink eye. The doctor wasn’t sure, but since another kid had it recently gave us drops and a note saying she could go back on Monday. \u00a0Nevertheless we had a great day at home that included her second ever stroller run. \u00a0Sadly, the weather had started turning colder and so she wore her snow suit and I had to wear pants again. \u00a0We ran the Metrodome loop counter-clockwise and the wind and stroller made it quite difficult. \u00a0The same distance took almost 4 minutes longer.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong> morning was another stroller run. I \u00a0had hoped to join up with the Team World Vision crew, but it was quite cold and a little bit of snow on the ground. \u00a0Christy was at work, so we waited until it got warmer and did an almost 6 miler on the Greenway<\/a>. \u00a0If you haven’t noticed, the Greenway can be quite the wind tunnel. \u00a0I chose to head into the wind to start (good decision) and pushed the quasi-aerodynamic jogging wind catcher for 3 miles into the wind. \u00a0That was brutal, especially with the heart rate monitor beeping at me every time my pulse went over 160. Ugh. \u00a0Fortunately, the run back was much nicer and the stroller helped propel me along!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong> morning was kind of a last minute decision to do the FREE<\/strong> MDRA Mudball Classic<\/a> 4 mile race at the Quaking Bog<\/a>. \u00a0I had no real expectations going into this race, I figured if nothing else it would be a nice (aka tough and muddy) 4 mile run. \u00a0I was quite pleased with my time and\u00a0exertion\u00a0level. A 34:54 over some brutal hills on nothing but base training… I’ll take it! \u00a0I was disappointed that there wasn’t more mud though!<\/p>\n

Afterwards I went to a tri clinic at the YWCA<\/a>. \u00a0It was very basic information and it went long and was mostly female focused. They had lots of great information and a great list of resources. \u00a0 BTW, the YWCA is really stepping up their endurance sports focus.<\/p>\n

Mike and I had scheduled a ride for the afternoon. \u00a0He was recovering from a bug and I obviously was a little tired, but we ended up riding 25 miles. \u00a0I suggested what I thought was a 4 mile add-on but turned out to be quite a bit more and added a big hill. We went down the Greenway to West River Road, crossed the Mendota Bridge and went through Lilydale and back up East River Road to Franklin. It was a very relaxed pace and ride though. \u00a0It was great to get out there for a real training ride on my nicer bike (they handle quite differently!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
