Saturday, Jen came into town and joined the little running group. I am still recovering (and hoping for no set-back or recurrence) and Jen is a fairly new runner so we took it easy. Most the group ran 4.5 but we set out to do 3, then upped it to 3.5, then added on a quarter for 3.75. It was slow, but it was supposed to be :-). Jen brought her dog Cliff and he did really, really well. At a few points, he and Cosmo were shoulder-to-shoulder, running (or rather walking briskly) right together. So cute.
I did okay but really started to feel the distance at about 3 miles. Just tired and I probably would have walked if Jen hadn't been with me. She did really, really well. I think she is in perfect positioning for her first race next month. She already has the distance down.
This week the plan is:
Monday - the hills....3.2 miles
Tuesday - cycle
Wednesday - 3 miles
Thursday - cycle
Friday - 2 miles
Saturday - 4 to 4.5 miles
Sunday, blessed Sunday - OFF!
My plan is to add that Friday 2 mile run to get used to a 4th day running and to gradually up it to 3 or more when I feel good.

Sounds like you had a good time with the run. Did the hounds collapse when you returned home?
I'm sorry that I missed the run!!! With the coughing that I just did on the treadmill walking at 3.0 mph for only 10 minutes, it looks like I'm not going to run on Monday. Great Job for you and Jen!!!!
It was a lot of fun! :o)
Jen
You guys are doing great. I can not wait to hear how this race goes. I am betting there are some very defining moments in store! :-)
