Glad you did things sensibly! I wonder too if there was some overcompensation going on that caused so much DOMS in your quads??<br /><br />I guess where you are it really makes most sense to do running in the early morning… crazy about the storm weds evening!! But I guess you could have predicted that if the humidity was so bad!<br /><br />I love your lion painting! I can’t even draw a stick figure (well.. ok I CAN draw a stick figure and that’s it) so I’m always impressed when people have a natural talent to draw and paint. <br />Last week I wasn’t really training but I did a pre-training session on Friday, WITH DOMS from bodypump the day before. Fun times Next race is Midsomer Night Run (June 30, 7.5KM) and then RnR Dublin (in August, 5K and Half) and the Ragnar Relay (no idea what my leg’s kms are in total, maybe I should look at that!!) in Germany and finally the Warsaw Marathon end of September. Oh. And the Half Marathon in Amsterdam in October. I’m not overbooked or anything. Ugh. <br />Training in the rain is not my fave - but sometimes it has to be done.runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-80309218464026405642018-06-11T20:52:17.713-05:002018-06-11T20:52:17.713-05:00Speaking of DOMS ...oh my gosh!!!

In spite of all that, you got in some great workouts and should be proud.<br /><br />I loathe running in the rain. I just hate being soggy. I feel like I'm always soaked with the humid weather we have here, so I guess it's no different than being wet from rain. I'm a total sissy like that.<br /><br />I'm on the once a month 5K right now, and that will continue until fall. When it hopefully gets a little cooler. Hopefully.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-34340721669194773062018-06-11T11:05:24.035-05:002018-06-11T11:05:24.035-05:00I'm currently trying to put together a trainin...I'm currently trying to put together a training plan for my half marathon coming up.
