1. The trees are filled with blossoms that scent the air near them.
It is heavenly. I hope the blossoms linger. I enjoy all the green but the added color is so nice. I enter a local photography contest each year maybe this year I will get some new macros of the different blossoms to submit and win the category!
2. Little Bug-man and I went for our evening run tonight. 6.5 miles (52:55) I had planned to do a split 10 miles tonight since the weather is to get unfavorable but my legs said the first loop was enough and I didn't argue since I already have 40 miles this week.
The Skyline Challenge
Trail 50k Ultra-Marathon
"Your Pain Is Our Pleasure!"
Saturday July 10, 2010
3. I have finally settled on setting my next "big" race goal. The Skyline Challenge. This race is in Virginia, any local-yokels who might be up to experincing it with me, drop me a line. Or anyone with experince on this course please let me know!
I am excited to have something to look forward to. Now if hubbs can just work out being able to support me during this race. His big-boy job has a crazy schedule.
4. Hubbs finally went back to the doctor because a year after knee surgery he is still having serious pain. His doctor took an X-ray and did an MRI. The doctor is fairly certain additional surgery is required to further clean up the medial meniscus that was torn and to remove a screw that is now unnecessary and may be causing some of the discomfort. I have been praying that hubbs is able to return to running and biking. Although, hubbs is not a lover of big distance, I have missed sharing training runs with him since his injury. Hopefully whatever is required will be easily recoved from and end his pain.
5. I have a 5k on tap April 24th for my April race. Since this goal is very "if-y" due to various life issue right now, I haven't offically mentioned it here but I am hopeful to run a race (of any distance) at least once a month this year. So I was very excited when I found out that Woodman of the World is hosting a Relay for Life running event locally! Score!
A race for April, maybe a 5k PR and a good cause.
That's my 5 for Friday. What's yours?
3 Changes Challenge
April 15th - Thursday
1. h2o/non-caffeinated - 70oz - Success
2. Destress - Post run I spent some time while the kiddos played in the bubble tub doing yoga and I prayed this morning before getting out of bed and will spend time in prayer again tonight before I drift off to sleep, which will be soon!! - Success
3. Xtrain - I did walking lunges and squats after my run while walking to see the baby goats with little bug-man, s'getti, my niece and nephew. Still not what I want out of this goal so I will HAVE to get it in this weekend to make my 2 days goal! - needs improvement
The blossoms are so gorgeous this time of year and I love catching the scent on the breeze!
ReplyDeleteHope hubbies knee gets better soon. I wish mine would come with me on training runs!
Good job with your Challenge!
That's a great picture of the blossom. A 50K in the summer ... are you nuts?
ReplyDeleteI am a bit north of you...everything is just starting to blossom here and I love it! Hope your husband is feeling better soon and can get back to running with you.
ReplyDeleteTotal bummer that Hubby needs another surgery. Blah!
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of blossoms, but I can't wait 'til they are gone b/c I can't breathe (stupid allergies) thanks to the pollen. :-(
"your pain is our pleasure" - i like that tag line. hahahha. i like runs that involve pain. even tho 50k is really out of reach for me... i still like it.
ReplyDeleteu r a champ for doing such a long run in the middle of the summer! u will rock it. have u ever done an ultra before???
and too bad about ur husband. hopefully the recovery will be quick!
I've heard of ultra-marathons what is that? I wish I were in Virginia; we used to live there (for about 5 months) - what part are you from?
ReplyDeleteI love the blossoms; our neighbor's tree was blossoming the other day but they are gone already. Tulips are still going though; my yard needs work. LOL
Bummer that I will be out of town that weekend. Otherwise I'd come down and support you (so NOT running it LOL). BTW, did you ever get my email? I sent it again.
ReplyDeleteLove the blossoms. My neighbour's tree was blooming something but the wind has taken everything away. You can tell I'm a gardener (ha!).
ReplyDeleteHope your husband is able to get the kinks worked out of his knee soon.
