Tuesday 8/4: Tuesday and Thursdays continue to be my cross-training days. Today was kickboxing and kettle bells. I did a lot of kickboxing late last summer/fall, so am trying to incorporate it more again. I had done some serious toning during that period, and think kickboxing was one of those classes that had more to do with it than I thought. Along with kettle bells, of course. During that same period last year, I had increase the weight of the kettle bells I was using. I haven't increased them again since getting back at it.
Wednesday 8/5: Normally, I would do TRX first and then run in the evening. This day, I made plans to take Ava and one of her friends to the pool during the evening. I ended up running later afternoon - like 3:30 - so I could get it done before Ava had gymnastics. Then still did TRX. Thankfully, there wasn't a lot of humidity, but running earlier in the day when it is just shy of 80* is still hot. (Lately, I have been amazed at how these are the same temperatures I run in during some of my evening runs, but evening running is not as hot. Or maybe it's all in my head.) Anyway, I had a specific time limit for this run, so just stuck to nearby neighborhoods instead of going to the paths. I went out just over 2 miles (26 minutes actually), and then came back the exact same way. I was slightly faster the second half - which was awesome! Although the second half felt slower and hotter. Seriously, look at the pool of sweat down by my shoes! Another great paced run!

Thursday 8/6: One thing I learned last week was these double workouts are intense. This week I decided to keep Thursday as a double, but lighten the load on one of the workouts. I did a 30 minute cycling class, and then went back for kettle bells later on. Kettle bells (which is way more than just kettle bells) incorporated four rounds of five exercises. I like that style!
Friday 8/7: I planned to run 4 miles today, but didn't get up to get it done before Ava's swimming lessons. I ended up making this my rest day, which worked out, too.
Saturday 8/8: This was supposed to be my long run day, but my summer schedule schedule (or lack there of) led me to sleep in later than planned. I didn't want to start a long run that late into the morning, so I did my 4 mile instead. I didn't start until about 11. It was warm, but overcast so not miserable. Of course the sun started peeking out the second half of the run, when I was running mostly west and didn't have the breeze in my face (what little breeze there was). To say the first half was better than the second half would be an understatement. I continued to hydrate every 10 minutes, but on this run that wasn't enough. Throughout the afternoon I felt like I had gone much longer - headache, low energy, etc.

(I don't know why Garmin gives 13:25 as my average pace. Any amount of mathematical education will tell you the average of those splits cannot be 13:25.)
Sunday 8/9: I was still up later than planned, but made myself eat and get out there as quick as I could. It was about 9:00, and already in the low 70s, but I needed to get this long run done. The first 3 miles were fantastic. I easily stuck with my 4:00 min run segments, and running was feeling effortless. Coming up to four miles, I started to get tired - but was doing okay. Knowing it was hot, and that I am not yet as fast as I once was, I had a GU with me. I opened it when I hit four miles, but taking that and water just made me feel full and heavy. Miles 5&6 were hard, but doable. After that it was tough. I felt hot and weak. I ran out of water a half mile from home, even after refilling half way. The last mile was the worst. I had sweat so bad that my pants felt like I peed through them! I barely missed my time goal of at least keeping at a 13:00min/mile average. Still, I was proud of my longest run of the comeback! When I got home, I stripped down, splashed myself with hose water, chugged some water, and waded in Ava's pool!
