slacking

I've been slacking recently on posting blogs... I intend to write them.. and have some topics, then haven't gotten around to it. So hopefully I'm done w/ that phase now.

I suppose for now I'll just recap the last few weeks, then get back to normal blogging.

Last week I ran with "Sancho." He was different from past dogs, as instead of pulling, the whole way out, he kept wanting to stop and look back. and he always stayed behind me (though he did have his tail up, and kept up with me). I think he was wanting to know if his friends who he lived with were coming. (he was in a kennel with two other dogs). On the way back his pace was way faster, and he pulled me home just a little bit. Hopefully he still enjoyed the run.

Last week I fit in a bike ride one day and a run the next during lunch periods... Its hard to do enough biking during lunch.. I also discovered that the running route I used to do last summer now seems to short! yay. It was about 2 miles, and at the end of it, I feel like I've barely done anything. I suspect it is more a time thing (since w/ warming up and cooling down its only 30 min of running) than a distance thing.

I missed swim practice monday for a fundraiser, but did go swimming at lunch on tuesday. the pool was full of grumpy old people (I got yelled at for taking too long in the bathroom!), and some ballet swimmers who just kicked back and forth for 1 hour in the pool. It was hard to find an appropriate lane. (swim in the fast lane w/ one person where who i'm obviously slower than? or in the medium lane with like 6 people including a breast stroker and a kicker? why aren't they moving up? arg). Stupid public pools.

Last night we just did a 2 mile run where it was supposed to be "moderatly hard to hard" effort the whole way. Your body should want to slow down every step. But its hard to push yourself at the beginning of a 2 mile run, cause you don't want to slow down later... I did it in about 18.5 minutes but wasn't that tired at the end. So I definitly should have pushed harder... which I knew. but yeah. maybe next time.

Ok I suppose I'm mostly caught up now. trail run tomorrow, as well as a 1/2 way party. The triathlon is so soon! I'm making chocoalte muffins for tomorrow! mmm.
