training peaks has a section for weekly goals. i decided mine this week were to get a feel for that 9:56 mile I'm shooting for the half, and trying intervals. done and done. I ran exactly a 9:56 average for this morning's 3. it felt... fast? it wasn't like i was constantly pushing myself, but it was more like i had to focus on moving the sidewalk below me. like marathon pace with a little extra push. i can do this.
last night Ben and I rode to dinner. this isn't newsworthy, except that now that I'm running instead of riding and walking to work instead of biking, the stable's been getting a little dusty. Janie took me to dinner last night, and, hot damn. 1) She fits so ideally. if you're on the fence about a custom frame, let me just say, that feeling of perfect fit... totally worth it, and not just psychosomatic. 2) I'm way stronger. Waaay stronger than last year. Running may not be the same as riding, but the basic cardio strength transfers, and I was getting over the Halsted hills sittin' down and rollin' like it was nothing. Uh-huh.
opening night at the velodrome tonight. i'll be there... in the stands.

You go girlie. :) Marathoners are strong.
I wish our velodrome was closer than 2 hours.
funny you say that. if rush hour traffic gets bad, our Velodrome IS 2 hrs away!
they need more volunteers at Treadfest in Lake Geneva. all day volunteers get food and a shirt. if anyone on your team might be willing to help out for all or part of the day, or even an hour or two, please pass the word along.
see ya at the track.
