This weekend was an "easy" weekend! We only had to ride 60 miles and run 4 on Saturday and then run 18 on Sunday. It was so nice to be done working out by 11:30 on Saturday. We didn't know what to do with ourselves! Julie, Dana, and I ventured out at 6:30am on Saturday and got caught in a couple rain storms but it was a welcomed change from last weekend and the heat. I'd ride all day in the rain before I'd have to ride an hour in 90+ degree weather.
Sunday I volunteered at the Du Run Run duathlon which was a fun morning but after standing in the heat for four hours that morning I was pretty tired and when I went to run my 18 miler I was toast at mile 3. All of my training buddies ran early and were finishing when I was starting which was hard to stay motivated to run by myself when they were all done. I had to stop several times for various reasons most of which was due to not eating properly that morning, not eating properly the night before (mexican food...eek), and overheating. I started from Athlete's House and ran down Music Row, up 21st, through Hillsboro Village and at that point I stopped and layed down in the grass for a couple minutes. I was only about 5 miles into my run...not a good sign. I felt much better after I took a few minutes to rest and made it to the water stop at Kathleen's house ok. I then got to Percy Warner Park and was toast again. I had to lay down in the shade again and at that point I had stomach cramps and a side stitch. I got up to run down Page Rd. and luckily Rolf and Lisa were in the car trying to find me on their way home. I was so happy to see them. I got in the car and called it a day. I only got 11 miles in but I just couldn't do any more than that...not yesterday. I know I can do the mileage so I didn't feel like I had anything to prove out there. I spent the rest of the night taking naps, going to the grocery store, and regretting the mexican food I ate the night before.
