week two: Today Brett joined Zoe and I on an easy two hour run. Brett felt it necessary to show his superior fitness by riding to my house from Lake Oswego prior to our run as well as riding home afterwards. But this blog is about the girls...so enough about that.
Zoe was in fine form kicking mud up from beginning to end. At Ronda's advice I now give her a bit of snack when I take my gu. She seems to agree whole-heartedly with this new plan. I felt sluggish at the start of the run after hills with Caleb the day before and a squat workout two days before. But about 20 minutes into the run I felt good for the remaining hour out. Coming back the mud and hills were taking there toll. I would tire easily but recover quickly. For the last 20 minutes I felt strong and could have run another 20 minutes at least. So far the only really fatigued body part have been my feet. I'm careful to stretch those arches well after running...don't want that plantar faciitis to return!
Emma had a nice chase at the park today and enjoys her bone as I type. Zoe is under the table reminding me that dinner time is 39 minutes away. The photo is of emma and I before the run this morning. Day off tomorrow. More time for studying! Good times.
