No Pool, Non Swim post whatever Challange

So I did a 5.3 mile run today, it doubles as a core workout because I had to drag my dog the last oh 3.3. miles. Mut needs some exercize. Anyway I have 1 more day and then im in full taper mode for my Tri in Hemmet 12/9. I am sure Alyssa will show up here....

Poor doggie.

I ran today. Atlantia told me about barefoot running last month. I've been trying it on the treadmill. (OK, so I wear socks....)

I really like it. I tend to take a shorter stride and not land as hard on my heels. Also, I haven't had knee problems while doing it.

I've kept the distance short, and so far, have had good results.

Good luck with the upcoming Tri!

I am sorry you dont have a pool but if you want to be an honourary member of one of the teams Im sure anyoen would be happy to have yuo!

Either that, or he and Lyssa should consider forming their own challenge. They seem to be really good at motivating one another!

Their conversations seem to go like this:

I can run farther than you can.
No, you can't.
Yes, I can.
Bet I can get to 50% of my goal before you do.
It's a BET.... AND I'll also run it FASTER than you do.
No, you won't.
Yes, I will. OK. Make it a DOUBLE bet.
Deal! I am SO gonna win this thing.

Yay 35 F out today 20 to 30 mph winds now on the ground, great day for a 35 mile ish bike ride. Well my fingers stopped being numb around 15 miles out, I stopped at 20 miles to get my feet to stop being numb, and the numbed up again 5 miles or so later. I read somewhere that one should train in all kinds of conditions... well this is my cold training at altitude 4500 feet above sea level. Summer I will be doing it in 100 + degress weather, this will make me strong... or road pizza. Anyway have a great evening folks.
