Haven't been feeling that great since the Half. Not injured - but sick & fatigued. The middle of February was really hard to do anything but sleep, eat, and rest. So this week I am happy & proud to say I have worked out 5x already, and have signed up to do a 45 mile group ride tomorrow. :)

Funday Monday

My friends and I have a joke about TRX. When I see the word, or hear it, I instantly think of DMX. And I start to hum the "What's My Name" song & sing "TRX" instead of DMX. It's a horrible association - I have the Ruff Ryders' Anthem stuck in my head on a weekly basis!

Did a nice ride to Marin & back today, hit up the beach and took advantage of the No Cars rule in Golden Gate (happens every Sunday & holiday). My Napa half is in two months, getting excited/nervous!

Kaiser Permanente Half

New PR in the Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon today! My chip time was 1:53 - so I ran at an 8:37 pace. I was 495/3161 for women, and 1719/5923 total finishers. This race starts in Golden Gate Park then takes you down to the beach, then a small hill back into the park for the finish. We're having a heat wave in California right now, so my friends and I camped out at the beach post race beers. Absolutely beautiful California weather!!

Sort of a funny story: I misinterpreted the mile markers and literally thought I had only run 8.3 - 8.5 miles, and this was a very hot and sunny portion of the race. I didn't think I could make it another 5 miles. Then I saw the mile 10 marker, and realized I had been reading the miles incorrectly. It was quite the relief, but a pure hellish two miles for sure.

This was my first race of the year - feels like it started off right :)
