Thursday - 60 minutes on spin bike in evening
Friday - 20 minutes swim. Have had trouble getting to that the last couple of weeks and felt the loss.
Saturday - 10 miles S2G on Boise greenbelt along river. More activity along the path than here in my neighboring little home town of Nampa. Lots of looks and smiles. I particularly liked one older gentleman who was riding my direction past me on his low-key city bike. He said, "Huh!" kind of understated, then gave me a wave that came across as approval as he continued on. Had to laugh at the 20 something shirtless, weightlifter type guy with the tatoo who walked by and called me hard core. I replied with a smile, "no, it is more fun."
And about mile 9.9, another runner, maybe late 60s or early 70s came up along side and asked how long I had been running barefoot. He said he "recently?" saw a barefoot man win a marathon in Sacramento. Anyone know anything about that? Anyway, he was interested and chatty, so I gave him one of my cards (my girls suggested I carry them in my hip bag!) and mentioned this forum. Maybe he'll show up!
Then, my husband chased me down, because I had failed to notice that we had reached our parking lot. Who knows how long I would have kept running and talking! Proving once again that I need supervision...
Rick, I bought some Sockwas after seeing yours. Thought it would be good to have another option and I liked the red ones. Haven't run in them yet, as the weather has been warm enough still (and I forgot about them when I went to Jackson) and Greg hasn't talked me into any desert runs lately. He's running more again, though, so probably soon.
