There has to a fine line between strengthening and trashing your legs!
I've been on a crusade to find my line. The running has been consistent with about one rest day a week but my miles are shorter, so no real long runs. The gym workouts have been five days a week with light weights and high reps! I'm loving my Altras, which are probably making me use different leg muscles while running.
I even got back on the bike this past weekend and rode into some nasty headwinds, must have been at least 3 mph winds........ Whew............
Well after all of this I can honestly say that getting up to pee in the middle of the night is a journey!
Even though the legs are tired, it is a good feeling.
Still haven't replaced my Garmin or iPod, so I just listen to the little voices in my head and only run routes that I know the mileage.
I think I'm one of the few people in the gym without ear buds on while working out!
1) This morning's run was very eventful. For the first time in my running career I saw roadkill that wasn't yet dead! Ewwwwwwww..... This poor squirrel had been run over just in his or her hind side and wasn't able to move but it was still alive and looking up. It scared the $hit out of me.....
2) With these early morning runs, I'm finding it difficult to ice the achy body parts because of my work commitment! It was so much easier when I ran in the evening......
3) I can't even imagine the amount of Kinesio tape that is being used at the Olympics! Those athletes are competing with God knows how many strains and tears and other assorted injuries.....

Why can't I get that runner's high like when I first started running?
I am actually debating if I want to get another Garmin or just go old school and use a watch.
My playlist sucks!
This morning's run was kind of cool because of the solitude.The traffic was even minimal.....
I'm almost Olympiced out!
Farewell summer of 2012..........

Is it Monday again? Damn, why aren't weekends longer???
Women's marathon, That's all I'm saying about it. I didn't wake up to watch the start because I need all the beauty rest I can get!
Usain Bolt is a Beast! Although that's the nickname of his teammate, it definitely applies to him.
Sandy is pissed because her soap operas aren't being televised because of the Olympics
I must have recovered from the bike ride because I was actually thinking of getting on the bike yesterday. Am I stupid or what?
I'm trying to get my track participants to run a trail 5k on Wednesday, just to see if their hard work is going to pay off.
I found myself watching the women weightlifters due in part to Crossfit. There are some BIG girls lifting some heavy weight!
My morning runs are getting easier but I still hate them!

1) Work sucks, so I guess that's why they call it work!
2) Cycling Short rash, WTF? I think the combination of completely wet shorts and never drying combined to give me a rash in the nether land....... Once again a first for me..... any help in this area would be appreciated.
3) I love the fact that at my Big Box gym there are so many guys trying to become Behemoth by lifting thousands of pounds. Here I am doing 120 air squats and the guy in the same area is squatting 315 lbs, although he only does two! I'm trying to become a lean mean machine and they're doing the opposite. But the fact that we're both there really motivates me to do more.

Why did I become so dependent upon my Garmin?
Why did they make it so easy for me to upload all of my running and biking data into a training log?
Why did my Garmin have to die so young?
Why is NBC showing tape-delayed Olympic events?
Why don't runner's tops have the pockets int eh back like bike jerseys?
Why do I complain about summer going so fast but go to bed early at 9:30 PM?
Why are my tomato plants taking over my garden????
Why do people going to the gym need the closest parking spot, even when the weather is nice????
