SPRING is in the air! Even Nancy says so!Eary spring in Northern VA ...STINKS! It's those beautiful Pear trees and some of the Cherry Blossom trees. They smell like garbage on a hot day. At least that is my take on the smell ...PHEW!!
Even with the stinky trees, I confess that I love this time of year. Everything is blooming and the days are longer and warmer.
YEAH!!
Yesterday I ventured on a run/walk session to evaluate how Physical Therepy is working on my knee...I am thrilled to report that I covered 24 minutes of run/walking (1 minute intervals) and I was completely pain free!!!!! Add in the fact that it was a sunny afternoon and in the 50s - my ideal running conditions - and you have a nearly perfect day!
Even though I am making great progress in getting my knee to heal, it is not soon enough for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in two weeks. I have considered switching to the 5K race distance but only time will tell so for now, I am going to spectate and cheer on Nancy and Keri and keep my focus on slowly increasing my workouts in prep for the Marilyn Lathom HomeGrown Triathlon on May 7th. The race is a sprint distance (1000 yd Swim - 12 mile Bike - 5K Run) and well within my capabilities in spite of the reduced training levels.
The way I look at it ... I am starting over again. No need to try to run a Marathon on Day One. 5K will be a good start!
Live STRONG!!

I agree about those smelly trees! I love to look at them, but I'm allergic to them. Wish I could join you on that sprint tri, but I just realized that I signed up for the Bay Bridge run instead that day. :-(
All i see in the air is snow...i ain't kidding you. It snowed this morning.
Yup..spring is in the air :0
If Nancy says so then it must be. She is a wise women.
