Shattering the Cement...

WOOOHOO! After a week of disappointment on my runs, I have completed the Duathlon! I felt great, my legs felt strong. I am not fast but steady and my times proved it. Completed it in 2 hours 9 minutes with a few minutes of transitioning between running and biking. I learned something from a very fast biker who passed me ...she would pedal in cycles. She would pedal about 50  times and then coast. I tried this and it worked well. I also discovered that I CAN run with out my IPOD. I was sick when I found out at the race that IPODs were not allowed. I was unsure how this was going to affect me since I run all the time with it. I still prefer to run with it...it is a great distraction but I CAN without it if I have to.
