Home again

I had the best time in California, and I even got in some great workouts and decided to start doing a new something to help my running, but first things first.
Friday morning I got up after being awake for 22 hours on Thursday and only sleeping 4, and decided to go for a run, I got half way down the road and realized I was too tired to remember where I came from, I cut that one short and went back to bed. Around 3 that afternoon I decided to try again. It was probably nearing 100 degrees, but it wasn't that bad because there was no humidity. I ran out about 30 min and turned around, the wind was awful coming back and I would have rather just had the pure heat, not because of the resistance but because I felt like it was drying me out. Sat morning I woke up and ran 4 or 5 and then Tina and I ran about another 2 to this martial arts class she takes which is all cardio, non stop. I kept waiting for them to say take a break and get some water, didn't happen. We even ran some hills to suppliment the workout but walked home. The weather in the morning was much cooler, the low 50's, which made it easier. Sunday we went hiking and there were some runners out on the trail. The hills were killer and my butt still is a little tight. As soon as we were unpacked last night, I got on the computer and looked up the best trails in Austin to train for trail running on (not town lake, real trail running!) Mike and I decided that we might start going out on Sundays, him walking the dog, and me supplimenting my workouts with a good 3 or 4 mile jog. I'm really excited about this! Take care!LJ
