Day 11: Road to Africa
(Mystery) Marathon
This morning's run was a group event with BMR & BGR. After this week's workouts, I gave in to the bridge and added a few walks. Heart rate kept climbing. #running #bridge #Runthe313 #CharlesStreet12
Day 9: Road to Africa
(Mystery) Marathon
Friday morning's run felt better than yesterdays. Still hot and humid, but it's August. Followed with cool down walk. Gym in afternoon for strength training (arms/legs/crunches). Next week strength trg only twice/week. #running #Runthe313 #CharlesStreet12
Day 7: Road to Africa
(Mystery) Marathon
The heat and humidity are back and it zapped me this morning. Goal was to run to and tackle the steep NE Michigan Avenue bridge and the stairs at the Basilica of the National Shrine. More pain tomorrow ๐ #Worldwidewil #running #Runthe313 #CharlesStreet12
Day 6: Road to Africa (Mystery) Marathon
This morning's 5k race was not to happen as my body suffered from episodes of GI. After I felt better, I went over to the race since it was near to home. Opted to run some miles. Garmin said to rest, but I was dressed to run. #running #Runthe313
Day 5: Road to Africa (Mystery) Marathon
Morning run was better than yesterday, but I had to work for it. Kept a steady pace throughout most of the run. Took a 10 min break in mile 5 because left knee and right foot were both not happy. Brief cool down walk afterwards. #running #Runthe313
Day 4: Road to Africa (Mystery) Marathon
Friday morning run was a speed struggle. Managed to engage fartleks into last two miles. Walked an additional cool down mile. More miles tomorrow ๐๐พ #running #Runthe313 #CharlesStreet12
Day 2: Road to Africa (Mystery) Marathon
Early morning run in cooler temps with slight humidity creeping in. Didn't record the cool down walk, but got just over a quarter mile done (time constraint).
PS you will find out the race/country when I land. No clues ๐๐พ #running #Runthe313 #CharlesStreet12
Back home in the DMV for another 10k that melted into 4 miles ๐คท๐พ My heart was racing (heat/humidity) so I decided to just run 4 miles and walk home for a cool down mile walk. #PeachtreeRoadRace #BedstuyHeritage5k #Runthe313 #ErieMarathon #TOwaterfront42K #MCM50 #running
