WHAT?


So yesterday (friday) was one hell of a workout. decided to do a tempo run (2x15min @ race pace) Warm up is ok, a bit stiff from the workout the day before. Its 11:00 am and its already 30 and humid and thank god there were tradewinds! I google maped my run and little did i miss was the elevation gain on the 4.5k loop. about 150 feet on a long and some steep parts hill thats loops around the house. I had taked in 3 bottles of water in the morning but i had the shivers at the 3k mark on the first loop! How do people keep cool?
Next i arrive home, ready for a day of relaxing on saturday. Im sitting in the sun reading the news paper and Leslie ( the people im staying with) asks me what T-shirt size i am. I reply small, why? Oh your racing tomorrow morning at 7am. WHAT! all i needed to do was make 2 small balloon towers for the Jamba Juice 5k run at Ala Moana Park. so i do that and get to sleep, retless and waking up at 3am unable to sleep (probably b/c i went to bed at 7pm) We get to the race, set up and im tired, sore and wondering if i should even do the run. I do it anyways and i end up running a 15:40! all things concidered (heat, long week of hard training and sorness) i was very happy with my run. Did a small swim At Ala Moana beach park, then worked with balloons all day and then did a nice easy 6.5k loose run. mow TOMORROW is a REST DAY!
