I probably haven't seen the movie "A League Of Their Own" which the quote, "there is no crying in baseball" comes from (gasp--I know! A Tom Hanks movie nonetheless...) But this morning I kept reminding myself "there is no walking in running." I had been doing great running on the treadmills at the gym in the air conditioning during the afternoons; but I am finding it much harder to do those same runs on the road. It feels different and it is much, much more disgusting. I am sweatier, and my body hurts in different ways. But, I am getting better! Today I had a three second improvement on my 3 mile time! Still working on getting it under 40 minutes but I am getting there. I feel like I am starting over a little bit after spending so much time on the treadmills during a really lazy running period.
I LOVE my new headphones. The orange Yurbuds that arrived yesterday are great. The sound is amazing and they are super comfortable and soft in my ears. While in Flagstaff I bought a pair at Best Buy--the kind with the over-the-ear hook. But I ended up returning them because it was the hook part that really hurt my ear. Plus, the new ones are the women's size, where the other ones were not. They did not budge one bit during my run this morning. Love them!
Two more days of left of Killer Week remain. Tomorrow is two 2 1/2 mile runs (a.m. and p.m.) and Sunday one last 4+ mile run. My shins are really going to be glad when it is over and I can take a rest day (or two). Once I am back to my regular routine, I might keep the two canal routes as my regular weekday routes. But, I'll have to wait to see what this school year brings...
