Downtown Vinton Biking
Achilles on the right leg is very sore, going to stick with biking for a few days and see if it gets better. So Chad and I rode all around town today and ended up at a local pub for a cocktail then we raced home. Fun times. Love my Husband, family, dogs and horses.

Precious Time
Well as you can see this blogging thing is a bit difficult for me to keep up with. I guess the occassional post is better than no post at all so I will do the best I can when I can.
The South Louisiana Summer heat has been making my runs very difficult and mostly short. I can't seem to find anything that helps with that. Early morning running would be the best but I just haven't sacrificed my much needed sleep to get up at 3:30 in order to get it done. I have snuck in several twilight runs and that has not been terrible on certain days. But for the most part the majority of my running has been doing intervals on the treadmill.
A typical interval treadmill workout for me would be for about 40 minutes total time. 2 minutes at 4.8 mph alternated with 2 minutes at 8.0 mph on incline of 1. That would carry me roughly 4 miles in a comfortable 68 degree workout room.
Also been getting in some biking but nothing too long or strenuous. I am hoping to pick that up again soon too.
I am still enjoying the pescetarian way of eating and have no desire at all for red meat. My daily smoothie gives me a nice boost of protein and I love experimenting with different ingredients.
Trying to fill up my running calender as I hope to do a lot of fall and winter runs.
