Blended Tomato Condiment - Catchup, get it?
Running…
Last week I ran 19.29 miles. Sunday, I ran 13.66. It was a trial bringing it home yesterday. I left early to beat the heat, but it became a pain by the end of the 9th mile. Being a determined runner, I did finish but I think I could have walked it in faster!
Cross Training…
Today, I rode my bike!
I must admit that it has been a while since I’ve ridden my bike. It is a GT mountain bike with the triple tube molybdenum frame build. I have some hybrid street tires on it. I got it ready last week and will be using for cross training.
I had planned on an hour of riding today. That changed to a half-hour, soon after starting! I do know now that bicycling takes a different (though similar) set of muscles from running. Maybe, this cross training is a good thing.
I did keep hearing some of my mentors whisper in my ear, “Take it easy! Don’t overdo it! This is a first marathon you are training for!”
So, when I was plenty sore, I stopped.
Word of Advice!
I wouldn't eat at this restaurant. If you should pass it while running? Keep on Running!

Biking really is great cross training for running. It gives a good cardio workout while giving your joints a break from the pounding.
To answer your question, I am on track for my training. I would hope so, I am only going on week 2!! I am incorporating 3, 20+ mile runs this year. I feel that I need these runs to help me finish stronger, give me more confidence and because I am in much better distance running shape this year.
Hey Charlie!
I need to be more like you and actually get off my duff. I have skipped running two mornings in a row. :(
Haha! Great picture :)
It is cross training - I've been riding a lot more and its helped my running.
good for you for xtraining - keeps injuries to a minimum too -
what's that sign about? a joke, or for real? in any case, I agree - not a place i'd want to dine at.
Sounds like your training is going well. I'm adjusting to the heat too, running earlier.
No, we don't eat cat here!!
LMAO at that sign. That can't be for real, can it??
How's your tushie after your first ride? That is my concern when I hit the bike next week.
