Over It

I passed the zombie flu on to A this weekend.  Luckily, she's tougher than I am, and continues to plow through it with school and basketball practices.  She should be over it in a day or two.

My mom visited this weekend.  A's team won their "pink out" basketball game friday night.

Yeah, 10 pts...A "shot for a cure".

Her team is undefeated for the season.  The state playoffs are just four weeks away.  Yes, I continue to live vicariously through my daughter (the coach just won't put me in).  Don't judge.

Saturday morning, I met a local running group for an easy two miles from our local running store. The catch? I had A drop me off. That meant I had almost 6 miles to run home after the meet up.  I'm so glad I did my long run this way.  Meeting some new running friends was great, but running home in the rain wasn't.  But, this was the best way to force the run.  I might have skipped it if running wasn't my only way home.  8.43 miles in 1:29:50.  Longest run in a few weeks, since RNR Arizona.

I usually run long on Sunday and rest on Saturday.  What a treat to have it done early in the weekend.  I took advantage of it and went for my first swim of 2013 on Sunday morning.  S decided to come with me.  Luckily, the pool wasn't too crowded (I'm still afraid of sharing a lane with someone other than S).    750 meters wears me out.  I look forward to building up my swimdurance.  My Christmas swimsuit is awesome.  I can hardly wait to swim again.  Hmmmm....a few more long run Saturdays are being planned.

Do you have a training plan?  How's it going?
