this is the week my peak began. tuesday, i completed my 20 miler in the rain. it was a wet tuesday and wednesday. we've had almost this whole week (except monday) off from work, so it's given me the chance i needed to rest my legs, eat, run, rinse, repeat....
june came back on wednesday so we spent nearly the entire day of wednesday and thursday together. i rested wednesday- it was still miserable out so the cinema was the choice of entertainment. went to see Lawless and it rocked my socks. i'll probably see it a few more times. thursday i got back on my bicycle and did ocean drive and went to kickboxing class with june. after kickboxing, had a dinner of cilantro, a girls night sleepover, shared half a bottle of wine, watched Julie and Julia and zonked out by 10:30... haha. we were at the Corner Cafe by 9am having eggs and toast before both going off to our respective boats. she had to move hers- i sunned myself in the cockpit while reading my marathon book and enjoying lunch at the shipyard.
after my siesta, i biked the drive and ran a very strong ten miler this evening. felt really good, and getting very confident about this race. i enjoy this part of my training plan because i'm wiped out when i hit my pillow and get a fantastic cozy sleep every night. after my 20 miler in february, i was out like NOT flynn. IF you can refer to the archives, i was set back two weeks in my training schedule with an out-of-sorts patellar tendon. this did not happen to me this time. i had the usual soreness, but moving forward without injury. understandably, this excites me.
