Squeaked in 13 before the triathlon

Good luck to all the triathletes, loonies though they are! 

An hour and ten minutes… but there were loads of people in the damn way!  Not too bad!

The weather in Philadelphia this morning is lovely.  Humidity dropped and altogether a lovely day.

To the sport-twinkie who made my quintastic day

That pair of roller blades ~$250

Getting up early enough to be finished by 7:00 $a lot

Blasting past a thirty something who had at least 90 seconds start – priceless.

Thanks Twink!

Sundays…

I have to get out earlier… A run, the Eritreans (a whole category unto themselves)!  Prostrate Cancer – a run for prostrate cancer, you think it should be against.

Which means this side of the river – which means dogs :-( More to the point it means people who aren’t in control of them.  One got a little too close today.

However another 8 miles completed.  Oh Happy Day!

Half Marathon

One hours and four mins.  A teeny bit slow – but hey, I am hardly fit yet!

It never felt so right, it never felt so good!

Actually that’s not true – it’s often felt better, but 5 miles in about 21 minutes – serves me right for getting out late!

I am going to do 26 miles in six weeks time.  I will allow myself July 10th as the date.  But am going to go for July 3rd.  Legs were a little unsure this morning but the rest of me loved it, Loved it!

We’re off!

Welcome 2011

Happy New Year! Well its time to start the blog again. Because this year I am going to do it, and so it has to start now. I am not sure whether the goal is 39.3 or 2 x 26.2 in 2 days but one of them will happen.

I start with Core Strength. There is a class by work which is all about the core so there’s a starter and then after that weights here in the building and I suppose cycling. I was going to roller blade today – but there’s too much snowmelt around so it’s wet. So 5 miles on the bike today – I really do have a boney butt!

So a very Happy New Year to you and yours… posts will be infrequent until I really start to train, and as you know this is just to hold me to the goal and keep me in line, no pun intended.

An uninspired and uninspiring run this morning.  Still a run is a run is a run!
