This weekend I missed our Saturday Practice because I was up in San Francisco with 3 of my best friends, one of whom is the sister of my mentee Yaz. Despite missing practice, Tas (my best friend and mentees sister) dragged me to the hotel gym and I did a 4 mile run/walk. I had the brilliant idea to run OUTSIDE, but Tas vetoed that due to the fact that SF is entirely made up of mountains, and somehow you always seem to be running UP them. So in the gym, it was kind of a disaster because I forgot my inhaler...I found that I could do a really slow run without walking at 5.2 mph...any faster and my chest would get too tight and I had to walk. It's not so awesome that I still struggle with the asthma, but the good news is that usually it's not such a big issue.
And tonight I redeemed myself. I grabbed my 2 mentees, or maybe begged them to join me so I wouldn't puss out, and we ran 4 miles on the strand in Manhattan beach. 4 miles in 41:41, and we stopped for 2:20, so techncially if we hadn't pussed out for 2 minutes, it woulda been faster than my "typical" pace. Felt good! Then off to Subway for a $5, $5 dollar, $5 dollar footlong. (argh!!! I hate that commercial!!)
Swim practice tomorrow. Goal is to make it 5-6 workouts this week.
Wildflower is in 8 weeks!!! Are you f*in kidding me?????? eek!
