A better 20 miler than last time

Elevation chart:

Got about a 10 am start, and temps today ended up warming up quite a bit faster than the last few days–no risk of frost this morning either. Still, the temperature was in the low 50s and sunny to start–a little chilly for a sleeveless running shirt. By mile 15, I was happy to have the warmer weather gear on. Did a lot of out and backs, and found a new connection between streets.

  • 20,000 "pounds" in 20 minutes attempt #twit2fit I tried to do something to keep the weight lifting interesting and limit the amount of time spent doing it...  10 "tons" in 20 minutes, based on weight on machine X reps.  The workout took 25 minutes, but I did 15 "tons" instead of 10.

  • Starting to build a little momentum I'm probably a couple of weeks away from being able to run any kind of long run outside--in part from recovery, but mostly from happily being blind-sided by the responsibilities of having a second child at home.

  • I laugh so that I don't cry Actually, the drama is diminished for me today.
