Yesterday I walked the Westport St. Patrick's Day Run. It's a four-mile race that took us from Westport north into the Valentine neighborhood, through the campus of MCC, down into Penn Valley Park and back. It was a gorgeous day. My goal was to do 18 minutes miles. My final average mile was a little over 17 minutes as I finished in 1:08:55. Mile three is what got me. I was under 17 minutes for every mile and then mile three had some hills and I stopped to drink some water ending that mile is about 18:50.
This is the first of the four races that make up the KC Sweet 16 Series. I will also be running the Trolley Run, Four on the Forth and the Zoo Run. Hopefully, by the Zoo Run in September I'll actually be running.
Also this week tri-training began for the WIN for KC sprint-tri on July 27. This mean, ideally, six days of training with Tuesdays as my rest day. Today I will swim, bike and run. It doesn't sound too appealing at the moment as I'm pretty sore from the race yesterday and then walking to and from the Brookside St. Patrick's Day Warm-Up parade and standing for about two hours to watch the parade. However, I think it will feel good and help loosen the muscles to get moving again today - especially the pool work,
Let's hope for an injury free training and race season!
