MY PATH

After having realized with mild shock yesterday that the season was half gone — I decided to take stock — running-wise. My shin injury set me waaay back this month, but it feels good now, so I think I’m back on track. And that means getting down, dirty and serious for the next two months when it comes to training, nutrition and proper sleep (easier said than done, eh? )

It’s not a bad thing, because when I’m in control of my running, I find I’m in control of my writing. I have some work to do there, too. I’ve signed on to do an online read for eHarlequin due the end of August, and I’d like to get another proposal in the bag by September or October. Sooo it’s back to daily logs.

My Path: Tenderhook – Lost Lake

My Distance: One hour and four mins with 20 mins of hill circuits.

My Beat: This Is The Base – Enigmato (techno-hypno )

The Temp: 31 C – 87.8 F

And Toni got me measuring heart rate — 46 beats per minute at rest. I don’t really like to train using heart rate — but I’d like to see if this changes at all over the next two months. Did a weigh-in, too. Five pounds down since May, so there is some movement there now! I had originally gone down two sizes while staying exactly the same ‘poundage’. I put it down to muscle increase — but now that dang scale is finally showing signs of life (I promise not to bore you with the nutrition log, too — but the goal is another five.)

Victoria Marathon Countdown – 74 days!

Honolulu Marathon Countdown – 137 days

PS - don’t forget to enter my contest. I have a really special prize coming up later in the year — one for readers, and one for writers … details to come
