6 "easy" miles with ladies group. I felt like a rag doll being drug behind the back of a truck. Left leg was really dragging behind. Felt great to get out anyway! Cross training planned for tomorrow. The goal for now is base training. I wonder how many miles a week I can get to BEFORE breaking apart. I'd like to test that out. I'm not really sure how long I should keep base mileage high either without a race in sight. Any suggestions? I signed up for a women's tennis league today. I'm excited to put some of my energy and competitiveness in another area during my building base stage. I haven't played tennis competitively against my siblings since I was 12. My dad and oldest brother use to teach tennis lessons. One day my dad had an idea to get all of us 7 kids into tennis at once. He bought me a tennis skirt, shirt, shoes and racket. I was probably the only one who never took it serious during lessons. I was often running around the court and twirling around in my tennis skirt....missing every ball that came my way. I never knew what my dad meant when he yelled, "Tara! Anticipate, ANTICIPATE!!" Well, I can anticipate that this tennis season will be interesting. On my way to the DI to get a skirt!
