To practice for Ragnar, the SFRR are running three different times
today. I ran 25 minutes this morning (about 3.1) and Merri ran about 35
minutes (about 4.3 miles). Our neighbor, Larry, kept up with Merri this
morning.
Then before eating lunch we went for another run.
Merri, Wes and Larry ran again together (well, first time for Wes).
They ran about 3.8 miles. Then I went out after we swapped kiddos and
ran about 4.3 miles for 34 minutes. Man did that feel good!!! I was so
excited. No knee/IT band pain, just my hip flexor and cramping in my
calf. I was soooo excited. I spent about 10-15 minutes before the run
just rubbing/rolling or massaging my leg on the side and front and
Vwalah! All better. I am going to invest in a foam roller. Come Monday
I am heading to the store. We'll see how I feel for the third run of
the day.
Just as a side note. We are SOO excited to join our new
members of the ragnar relay team. Chad, Merri and I had decided to race
on a 12 man relay through the mountains for 180 miles with some other
people, that we don't know. Well a couple days ago they e-mailed the
entire group to say that we were three runners short because of
dropouts. So we recruited our neighbors, Wes, Larry, and Brandon to
come and run with us. Now we have one full van of just us locals! I am
so excited! It is going to really be a blast.
Merri's Note: Wes and I also did a short 15 minute run at about 8:45ish. I had nothing left!!!
