First entry!!

Hi julie here - This was a little bit of initiative from both of us, but we (finally) got a blog set up... how fun. It is 11:45pm - well past my nighty-night hour and I'm still verticle with eyes open as Erik serenades with guitar in the other room. He reads so many other blogs out there daily and I squeeze it in when I can. I love the ability to catch up with people across the miles. Thanks to all of you who write and are so inspirational and may not even know it.

We had our first MN track workout last night (first outdoor one was AZ a couple weeks ago): a 5K time trial. "3x1 mile with 1 min recovery" oh this won't be too bad.... OMG - today I woke up and thought I got hit by a freight train! My glutes and quads were talking smack back. What a workout! Altho I wasn't really pleased with my times - Erik rocked. Little back ground on E... AKA EZ - he is an all-conference sprinter in track. He has the wheels of the family. I'm the brickhouse gymnast. He has run speed and I have bike power. We complement each other well in so many ways.

EZ managed to negative split each 1 mile... while i unfortunately got progressively slower. Gumby legs started to climb into my body. Breath! relax! Pretty soon - we got thru it, sun was setting and we're done with the benchmark April 5K Time Trial.

ok - it is midnight and I'm hitting the sack.

Peace - j

Great to have you in the blog world! The 3xMile TT was equally demoralizing for me!! That's why it's trainig-save the good stuff for the weekend!
