blah kind of week so far

On Saturday I trail-ran/hiked with Lupe at Blue Hills for about 7 miles. It was pretty hot and humid out. Kind of wondered how I'm ever going to make it up a mountain. I think it was the heat.

On Sunday Bethany, Lupe and I did a 4 mile walk on pavement with those new tone-up sneakers (Ryka brand) - like rocking chairs for your feet. (Actually Lupe didn't wear any shoes.) It did certainly make those 4 miles a lot harder than it would have been - almost like walking in sand. These were a good deal at $70.

Yesterday I ran on the treadmill (the humidity was ridiculous) and then walked with max inclination. I am also adding leg exercises because my knees have been hurting all the time and I'm thinking they may be too weak - well that's what the research shows and it could be true.

Today I had to walk really fast to make the train and I now (a few hours later) my left hip is hurting. That's one way to screw up your training...

Oh, and some people at my job are really losing it and causing grief to me as well.
