Beach Walk

On the spur of the moment, George and I decided to join my sister and her family at Emerald Isle, NC, for the night last night. So, I had a nice, leisurely stroll on the beach this morning before the storm rolled in, clocking 1.11 miles in 27 minutes. It felt great to take it easy and enjoy the view and conversation! I'm not as sore as I expected from yesterday's run/walk, but I'm still pretty tired.

Busy Start to the Week

Yesterday I didn't have time to blog, becasue George and I drove down to Emerald Isle, NC, for the day to visit family. I did get up early and ran for 30 minutes (2.44 miles) on the treadmill. At the beach, we had a nice walk on the chilly beack, 1.55 miles in 34:34. I ended up being just two tenths of a mile from hitting 30 running miles for the week, and I was plenty sore to show for it! If I'd realized that at the gym, I may have gutted it out, but I really didn't need to--in the big scheme of things.

I was still tired this morning, partly from last week's mileage, and partly from driving nearly 400 miles roundtrip yesterday, but I still made it to the gym. Here's my workout:

1) Walked 1.76 miles (30:07 min) on the treadmill
2) Ran 1.22 miles (15:01 min) on the treadmill
3) Walked another 0.60 mile (10:07 min) on the treadmill because the bikes were occupied
4) Rode 2.02 miles (10 min) on the recumbent bike

It's unusual for me to have more walking miles than running miles in a running week (which starts on Monday for me). That'll change soon!
