No mile for me.

By Kim • Jul 23rd, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

Well, I opted not to do the sizzling mile tonight.  Reily has football practice, and the stoneman tri is this weekend.  I didn’t sit around though.  I ran 5miles in the park.  It was so nice today, not near as hot as its been.  For some reason my hips and knees were really sore today??  [...]



Go Cards Go!

By Kim • Jul 21st, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

Did anyone else catch that game last night?  It was a close one for the cards, but they got the win, thanks to Miles awesome walk off grand slam!!  Lets hope they do it again tonight, as Courtney and I are headed to the game in about 2 hours.  I left work at 1300, and had [...]



Saturday in the pool

By Kim • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

I woke to find a intermediate interval set waiting for me at the pool.  I might be regretting the 2 beers I had at the sliders game last night.  The plan was 6x 400 at 5:40 pace with 45sec rest in between.  I did a 400 warm up, and started my first 400.  There was [...]



Treadmill = torture

By Kim • Jul 18th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log, Training Logs

I am staying home this weekend.  I am not doing a race, and I am not going to Kansas.  I feel like I’ve been gone every weekend.  I picked up the kids after work, and went home.  I did 40min, on the treadmill.  It felt weird.  I haven’t ran on the treadmill in the afternoon  [...]



Rock and roll

By Kim • Jul 17th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

It’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon and it’s hot.  I think I’ll ride instead of run.  I headed down Washington across Bradfordton.  Freshly re-rocked road.  I’m glad to hear Dan say the tar and rock slowed down some of their sprints, because it sure slowed me down.  I either thought I was going to bite [...]



Dive in

By Kim • Jul 16th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

I’m breakin the law.  Okay maybe that’s a little dramatic.  I went to fit club after work, and I had not been in the pool in a week. So when I got to the pool, and saw there was no one else there… I had to dive in. It was like being in a swim [...]



Before I go

By Kim • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

Before I left to drive home today I did a 4 mile tempo run on a nice bike trail in Shawnee.  Nothing special, just a hot fast run.  Saturday we drove to Noel Missouri and went rafting on the Elk River.  Well we floated down the river and drank a beer or two.  This was [...]



Lost in Kansas

By Kim • Jul 11th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

So it was another Kansas weekend for me.  I left Thursday night, got there around 2030. I sot up this morning and planned on running 7miles.  I hadn’t done a long run in two weeks (slacker), so 7 sounded good.  I was given simple directions from my friend (Derick)  on the route to take.  A big [...]



1200’s are hard!

By Kim • Jul 9th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

I took Tuesday off and got  a desperately need hair cut, and color.  So tonight I was itchin to get to the track.  After a warm up, which didn’t take long, we started our 5 min run.  The first 5 min. I did a 1200.  Ran at a 630 pace.  We rested for a few [...]



Schooled

By Kim • Jul 7th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

I dropped Brady off for his tutoring lesson this morning.  While he was learning, I was being schooled on the track.  I had 45 minutes to run while Brady was at his lesson, and the SHG track is conveniently located next to school.  I got  my Ipod, and started my 40min Kara Goucher’s endurance boost workout.  [...]
