Peachy November Challenge (Page 10)

 hmmm. I wonder if yours is set up incorrectly. I don't have a burnt rubber smell going on when I use the trainer. Interesting.  I have heard a lot of people complain about the abuse their tire gets from the trainer.  *knock on wood*  I haven't experienced any of that.

So this morning I was ambitious.  My longest run so far has been less than 2.5 miles.  My polling place was 1.6 miles away.  Today was supposed to be 24 minutes of run/walk intervals.  So I decided to do my run/walk intervals to the polling place, vote, eat a snack, walk or do run/walk intervals back home. 

 Reality was...

Did run/walk intervals almost all the way to the polling place.  Took a wrong turn.  Checked google maps on blackberry.  Headed back in right direction.  Got to polling place, walked in, saw huge line (which I never saw the end of).  Decided to go back home.  Walked and drank some soy milk I brought with me.  Walked for a bit.  Then did a few normal run/walk intervals (3 min run, 1 min walk) until I got to a steep incline.  Tried to do run interval up the hill.  My legs quit on me (stupid legs).  Walked for a minute, then ran for 90 seconds, walked for a minute, ran for a minute.  I was close enough to home that I decided to use the rest as a cool down walk.   Got home and did stretches.  All in all, took me 54 minutes and the route was a bit hilly.

So how are you feeling after that big workout?

 Actually pretty good!  My legs are feeling a bit sore but I feel good and felt good after the workout.

Trainer tire? No I don't even know what that is.

 I don't use a trainer tire and I still don't have a burning smell nor have I ever had to replace a tire *knock on wood again*; although, I know a friend who has worn out his rear tire from trainer use. 

it's a shame there was such a long line.  I'm glad you got a good workout in, though

Got in a lifting session today and 30 minutes on the bike at the gym. I needed to waste time since I had an errand to run that could be done until 7:30 and then I went to cast my vote.

At my voting place they had two lines, one for anyone with their last name beginning with A-K and the other l-Z.  There was about 100 people in my line (L-Z) and ABSOLUTELY NOBODY in A-K.  SHEESH!

Stacie

I have a sore muscle all of a sudden...I'll call it my "groin" and I'm not sure if it was swimming with the fins on Sunday, long bike ride, or run that contributed...maybe all 3 did.  Anyway, I just went for a walk last night as I didn't think anything else was going to fly.  I have been stretching, too, but not timing it, so I haven't logged it.  I may have to just time my stretching tonight and log it for my peach?

That'll work!  Sorry you're in pain!  I had the same problem when I was doing long runs.  I bet is was a combo of the run and fins.  Hopefully it heals fast.

I have a "trainer tire" now -- it's the tire that became square from riding my trainer last winter

To have a burning rubber smell, the resistance might not have been tightened against the tire enough, would be my guess.

That will depend oh how you did on your marathon   Hope you had a great race!  Enjoy your recovery time.

Morning ride (completed), lunch swim (completed), and evening run today.
