Didn't have to get to the track this morning until 8:00, so I got to hang around and visit with my parents before they headed home. Had a very nice visit with them. This seemed like it was going to be a relatively "easy" track workout, and it was! Just two 800s at "I" pace, which I had to look up. I hope I got it right. It is somewhat slower than 5K, in my case 7:00 per mile. So each 800 should have been 3:30. They were 3:26 and 3:30. Close enough for me. Then there were four 200s and the same old familiar .48 seconds. Usually, though, I do some of these on a hill near the track and then do four more at the track. Today, it was just the track ones. Usually I go much to fast, but today I did better; they were .47, .42, .44, and .45. I jogged only 1 mile for cd, including a bathroom break, because I had to get to yoga. Yoga is different this week; it is the last week of the session, so we are doing "restorative" poses, which means lots of blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps, lots of headstands and arm balances, and somewhat more relaxed class in general. I think I prefer the regular yoga, because it is more strengthening, but I am sure "restorative" yoga is very good for me. Did I mention that I have a 5K on Saturday? So exciting to race again. I'll drive down to Seattle with my son, do my race, then a bit of shopping and eating with Peter in Seattle. I will then leave him somewhere to spend the night (he flies to Anchorage early in the am), and head back North. I am thinking I'd like to stop on the way home at this incredible Korean Spa and have a body scrub treatment or something. I have a gift certificate to use! |
