Ok the difference between yesterday and today is like comparing...night and day... today felt much much better than yesterday. The first 5 miles of my morning run felt really good... nice and easy like they are supposed to be :-) the last few miles I had to push but was still ok. As a matter of fact, on the last I would say quarter mile I really picked up my pace and tried to turn my legs (per say). That really felt good although it was very tiring!
At work I was hoping to get some good news on an internal job I applied for and interviewed with several people for.... however, unfortunately did not get the green light.
Then on top of that....I got caught up in a meeting so I could not go to my "fun" spin class... the one that has great music so it gets you motivated (it is at a YMCA that is down the street vs. the YMCA that is 1 building over). Nevertheless I obviously had a lot of stress and really was counting on pounding a treadmill to help me relieve some of it; so I headed on down for a quick work-out. Made it to about 25 min. of a spin class (already in progress when I joined) which helped me to get warmed up very good, then headed down stairs to the treadmill for quick 3 miles. Including my warm up I cranked out 3 miles in about 25 min. so I was pleased with that.
If all goes well I will run with the pack tomorrow (i.e. the really good running group at the Y).
Until tomorrow!!
