Now, I can't finish 6 miles without having to stop and strecth my hip.
After the wonderfulness that was the 5K this past weekend, I went for my long run on Tuesday. And no, no it just wasn't happening. My hip started to hurt around 4 miles, I stopped and stretched and decided to turn around. I geuss it's more important right now not to hurt myself.
But I'm mad. Very mad. Being able to run 6 miles is key to this whole triathlon thing.
And this really is not going to be another season of 54 minute 10Ks or finishes where it takes me 10 minutes to do the last 1.2 miles. Here is a picture of me from Nationals last year, where 30 people passed me on the run. Do I look happy?
Not, not happy about this whole running thing.
On another note, I'm moving to Marin. I got a new job working for the California First Amendment Coalition. Also, there has been some talk (yes, I also read lots of triathlon blogs but don't comment. I geuss I'm kinda a stalker) about how just training focused blogs kind of suck. Too bad, this is my training-focused blog. My fun blog is on my website: KellyDunleavy.com. Go there!

hi!
you will have TONS of places to ride. i love riding in marin. and TONS of peeps to ride with!
i am indeed doing icebreaker... i really want another open water swim under my belt (in addition to my current measly tally of two, neither of which was much to be proud of) before wildflower.
you should do it. i'd love to meet you!
and i am tempted to clarify this whole training-blogpost thing in a post of my own, but i will prolly just wind up sticking my foot in my mouth in a very hypocritical manner so i am just going to leave it alone ;)
