Week 3

No one ever drowned in sweat, but I wondered once or twice this week if I might. Good sweat equals a good workout in my book, so I'm not complaining. This was an eventful week training, Steve broke me in on some new pushups, hands on two large medicine balls, feet on the flat side of a bosu, and let me tell you those suckers are hard. I ended up on the floor and did push ups with the medicine balls, feet on the floor. After that workout, my upper body hurt for two days.

My six mile run only had one moment that was difficult, I had to find a way around this.

Steve also did a cross training day with me, trail ride. Encountered a western hognose snake. They are so big that when Steve ran over him on his bike it didn't even phase him (the snake). In trying to get away, I gave myself this bruise.

Saturday I had an 11 mile run. Waited till it stopped raining and took off at 12:45. Ran 5.5 south, and then turned around and headed home. Stopped at McDonald's for water and 3 miles from home it started sprinkling. Two miles from home it was raining pretty hard and the lightning and thunder hit at the same time. I was reaching for my phone to call someone to come get me and it was buzzing before I got it out of my pocket. Steve told me he thought I had the sense to turn around when I saw the storm. I had to explain to him that the storm came in behind me and was moving a lot faster than I was.

Ended up today with an hour forty-five minute ride on the bike path by the river. Totally uneventful. Been a tiring week, but a good week.
