Tough run. Inspired by Brian's run, I decided to try the run that I used to do, years back, as my regular run. It's about 3.8 miles (4.8 k) and has a maximum grade of 10% but enables me to avoid the 13% right around the house. It's not that bad, on average, but it really gave me a hard time. I could feel my face turning purple and I just felt incredibly hot. Blech. Happily, there was a torrential rainstorm on the way back that, at it's height, sent me under an awning to avoid the ipod getting wet. This may well be one of those cases where, rather than listening to the very arrogant Kevin Kelly talking rather uninterestingly about science in the future, I might have listened to Moby. :)
Blah.
And Lucy, thank you for giving us this tool: veloroutes.org. It's totally cool!
This is a blog started about my training for a 5k in 4 months (September 21, 2008), and then further to detail my training for my first half-marathon (Oct 18, 2009). My brother Bill was beginning to train too, so we did this together for the 5k. I am adding other people onto this blog, for moral support, and to help me train.
