Training Begins Again!

First of all, it is HARD to run in this heat! I just can't quite get in the groove! My body is just not capable of running in 90 degree weather.

But, we've got to start somewhere, so last weekend, Lewis & I both got in our first official long runs for this season. He ran 4 miles in the neighborhood. I ran 3 1/2 & walked 1/2 on the treadmill. My long runs will be on the treadmill until it cools down a bit. I started this way last year, so it'll work for me! We both felt good after our runs....not overly challenging since we've been out of the groove for a while now.

Lewis also got in a 5 mile run this morning. He ran it all in the rain. RAIN! We finally had some much-needed rain! I think he really enjoyed that run in the rain! He's been pretty consistent with his gym workouts this week, too.

We're off to a slow, but steady start!
