My thighs have always rubbed

That and other things proceeded through my head this evening during my workout.

I went to the little Y near the office.  The loop around South Park is about 2 miles.  Perfect for training for the triathlon.  OK - not perfect - there aren't enough hills in the loop but the distance is appropriate.  It is kind of silly to drive less than a mile to the Y and change and then run around the exact neighborhood I look out over all day from my office...  But somehow that feels like I have accomplished more.  So silly and accomplished proceeded through my head as well.

Man it is hot.  it was 90d out there during the run/walk.

Wow - I think I ran a bit more than I anticipated.

ACK! ACK!  That's the noise that escaped my throat as i tried to dislodge the gobs of pollen that were collecting there.  Probably a bad air quality day.

Gotta love the Masters - up go the Quail Holow flags along the route.

Hey there's Sherri.  Bitch.  She was running from the other Y.  Her loop is closer to 6 miles.  She has great form when she runs.  If only I could learn some of that form.

I had anticipated cycling as well but tomorrow's schedule warrants I get to bed soon.  So I just did the run/walk.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a swim but with the 4:30am wake up time that is highly unlikely.

running in 90 degree weather!??! that sounds like my idea of hell :). how much do you have to run every day when you are training?

and i think you should distrust anyone who's thighs DON'T rub.

it wasn't that bad... it hasnt gotten humid yet... and i have found running in the heat isnt bad as long as you are hydrated...
there are all these guidelines to build up to running... i can never get much further than 3 to 5 minutes of running... truly pathetic... the two races are 2 miles of running so i figure i will just focus on that...

i did pass a girl whose thighs werent rubbing which is why i thought of it... i am more skeptical of the guy with mirrored aviator sunglasses and highlighted hair that was with her...
