So we bumped up to 10 minute runs with a 3 minute walk break - big jump from 3 minutes! The middle run was a bit painful....i started wheezing! My allergies are a little out of wack - that must be it.
Workout:

Cool Again
I am a nut about the weather...couldn't tell could you! It's cold again, but at least it's not raining. Looks like it might rain all weekend - YUCK!
My running leader suggested I use a massage stick on my stiff leg/knee. It's just a stick with rolling beads on it that you rub on your muscles. It feels great! It really helped. I think I need to purchase one!

Spring is back
It was a nice spring day in NH today. 60F and sunny! It's about time. We have been drowning here! There has been a lot of destruction from the 3 day Nor'easter. We have roads that are still closed. Dams breeched, houses flooded....crazy!
Nice group workout today. I ran a bit faster than usual, which made me quite tired in the end. L, my running partner, had shin pain, so slipped back in the group. She ended buying new shoes when we got back to Runners Alley. With my knee pain, I might need to get some soon!

Week 3 - Monsoon Workout
Did I say that the weather in New England has sucked!! Well it does!
We had our training run today in the COLD, WET, RAIN! Now, we only run 3 miles, so compared to the Boston Marathon, it's peanuts. But for a novice - it's torture! The running part wasn't actually that bad. I was dress well in a coolmax T, fleece, and LL bean anorak. My bottom half was cold in just yoga pants. The rain dripping off my jacket onto my legs probably didn't help.
The Workout:
run 3/walk 3
run 2/walk 1 x 10
walk 5
I took a LONG shower when I got home to warm up. I feel pretty good now!

111th Monsoon Marathon
I think I've mentioned that the weather in New England SUCKS!
Today was the 111th Boston Marathon - and it's 35F and raining. Can we say sucky?
Actually, I tried for a hour to get to work, going through 4 detours around flooded roads, and my office was CLOSED. This unplanned day off did allow me to watch the Boston Marathon on TV. I am so proud on those brave runners out there! I don't know if I have the courage or stamina to ever run a marathon, but in these conditions - they are superheros!
I followed my favorite marathoner on baa.org- Stever runner from Phedippidations.
Steve is a podcaster that creates a very cool podacst about running. His ramblings are one of the main reasons I started running. I started listening to him at work last November and finally (In January), started running to the podcasts. I haven't caught some of this new podcasts, but I knew he was running the Boston Marathon, so I tracked his bib #. I know from reading Steve's website and listening to his podcasts, that he didn't make his goal time, but he improved from last year, which is great considering the MONSOON!
Great Job Steve!
