Total miles for this week. All in preparation for the Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon next month.
Miles are miles and my hips hurt to prove it.

Sundays
What to do on a Sunday?
I spent the morning volunteering at a triathlon. It was a different experience for me. It's amazing at the spirit and dedication these athletes exhibit. It was kinda nice just being able to watch the event rather than mentally prepare for it. Not that I would do a triathlon. A duathlon maybe. But we'll see about that.
We worked the bike course. I felt really good supporting and cheering the athletes on. You could see some of them really appreciated the support. 15 or 25 miles on bike...after a swim or a run...is HARD work. Each of those athletes is to be commended for it.

6 miles
Six miles in preparation for next Saturday's 1/2 marathon.
Up early to run early to avoid the scorching heat that came later in the day. Too bad it was just wet outside. It wasn't raining...the humidity was so thick that it just laid like a second skin. YUCK.
What am I going to do when I move to Tampa?!?
Two three and a halfers this week before Saturday.
Got all my gear - hydration belt and several varieties of GU. Tried the chocolate this morning....not too bad.
The goal is 2:45. Did it in 3:09 last year. Totally doable. If I run the whole thing...can probably beat 2:45. But I'm not setting myself up for that.

10 miles
Yes, I did it!
With the support of Can, Sunday morning we did 10 miles along Lake Michigan. It was tough. I ran about 90% of it. A couple of walking breaks after the turn and a walk back to the hotel after we got off the trail, but it was done in a little over two hours.
Now crazy thoughts like I could maybe actually run the entire 1/2 marathon on July 22 are entering my mind!
And Can has me thisclose to signing up for a 1/2 marathon in Vegas in December.
Somebody wake me when it's over.
