Road Running hills 42:00 [4]
shoes: Addidas adiStar Ride
I got a run in! Finally! Although it wasn't anything special it was a delightful run! Since it reached over 90 today (I'm psyched for the warm up, but that's a bit too much too fast!) I waited till a couple hours after work, rather than running at 6 after work (hurray for only an hour of overtime!) when it still felt oppresively hot and I think that made all the difference. The sun had sunk low enough that there was far more shade to run in, but it was still warm enough that I could run in just a sports bra and shorts! Loved it!
Since there's only a few more days till the Team Trials I don't feel like there is much I can do other than stay loose, relaxed and well rested. But, I decided that what I could do on today's run is just run some hill repeats without really working the hills just to "remind" my body that I'll be doing this a lot this weekend. So I ran about 20 min and then did 5 reps of the Hollywood Rd. hill (about 200m of steadily increasing incline.) Considering that I haven't run much in the last 3 weeks I felt surprisingly good, you could even say euphoric, but I'm pretty sure that was more a function of my happiness about getting out of work "early" and having enough time and energy left in the day for a run. Still, I'm not complaining!
