In Vacation Mode

Well it hasn't even been a month and we derailed, but for good reason.  After we ran our 10k on Monday we took a 'break' this week getting ready for MEXICO!!!  We leave in 13.5 hours!!  We spent the evenings this week getting ready/last minute shopping/packing, etc.  Our plan is to do a couple of short runs (3k) while down there but with the feel like temps of 49/50 degrees we'll see what happens.  There is the option of the resort gym but outside is so much better. 

Our plan when we return home is to train hard core as there will only be 4 MONTHS LEFT until race day!  EEEEEEEEKKKKKK!   So we'll enjoy this week :)

Until we check in again, have a great week!

One Month Almost Done

Last Sunday's long run was 8k.  We certainly know how to pick routes.  At 4k we hit a hill (Beech Tree Run if anyone is familiar with the area) and it was a toughie however, the run back down the hill on the other hand was a breeze. 

We used our auto pause function on the Garmin on this run for the stop lights.  We thought it worked great but as you can see from the picture it stopped tracking Twin 1's km at 6k but the timer kept going.  Twin 2 thinks Twin 1 is just too fast for the Garmin but from her pace you would think differently.

The weather was beautiful and we may have overdressed once again as it felt like we were Britney Spears in her sauna suit.
