Eliptical Rider ~ 4.18 miles
4 miles @ home (12:16)
Time: 8:00 pm
Weather: 70’s, hot
Clothes: Knee tights, t-shirt
Shoes: Izumi Pearl
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 48:59
Split: 12:16
Course: over 256 and back
Comments: Same side pains as in yesterday’s run (between mile 1 and 2). Tried to run through them, but it is nearly impossible. Walking does help. Trying to change my breathing a bit to see if that helps, but couldn’t tell. I brought some (1) vanilla GU to start getting used to it. Wasn’t bad, tasted almost like butterscotch and it didn’t seem to upset my stomach. 🙂 I also brought my ‘fuel belt’ on the run.

3 miles @ Silver Lake, MI (11:43)

Time: 35:17 min
Split: 11:43
Course: Down to and along Silver Lake
Comments: I was so ready to go that I actually left my iPod in the hotel. lol Kinda glad that I did, because listening to the birds, the wind blowing through the trees and the splashing of water was a nice change. The first .5 where downhill, after that pretty much flat. Ran 1.5 then turned around and walked .1, then back to running….after about another 1/2 mile my stomach was telling me I had to go to the bathroom (I guess last night’s Mexican food did not agree with me). 😦 So I walked until the urge somewhat subsided, and was able to run the last 1/2 mile (uphill).
On Vacation
Leaving for a 5 day trip to Michigan to go quadding with the hubby at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. It’ll be interesting trying to find a good route to do my training runs. 🙂 But then I am thinking that quadding for 4 hours + each day should be a good substitute for running!

Comments: Long run, ran all the way, no walking breaks. Going up a very steep hill and James Brown’s “I feel good” song comes on the radio! Good stuff!!! 🙂 Good run overall…some right side pains, but manageable.
Elliptical rider ~ 4.1 miles
Time: 3:45pm
Workout: Elliptical rider
Duration: 40 min
Miles: 4.10

Shoes: Pearl Izumi (bad choice for the elliptical rider)
Comments: Shoulder didn’t hurt during, but now 5 hours later it is sore. Motrin ftw!
Baby-ing my shoulder/neck
Still not 100% (I’d say about 70%), so I am going on the eliptical rider this evening before heading to school. 40 mins worth of cardio should be good and if the shoulder gives me too much trouble, then I’ll just dangle the arms useless by my side and give my legs an extra hard workout. Problem solved! 😉
