Something is going right

Ellyn Ritterskamp

I am in this phase of running/walking two miles, three times a week, and my legs are turning into rocks. The good way, I mean.

There is still plenty of top layer of fluff to be gotten rid of, but underneath, my quads are as solid as they'll ever be.

Last week's runs: I trimmed some time off the second one, and did it in 36.5 minutes (down from 40). The third day, I had zero energy, but I did it anyway, and still got done in the original 40 minutes. Nothing lost.

Today is this week's first run. I predict 37 minutes. I'd love to get to 30 by July when we do the sprint triathlon. That course is out and back on a flat road, so it shouldn't be hard.

Onward!
