This morning's run felt pretty good. Honestly, I am not totally sure if the better feeling is tied to my condition or just the great weather. We have gone from 16-19 degrees F in the morning to around 47 degrees this morning. Obviously this allowed me to take off multiple layers of cloths so I could move better!!!
For the last two days after getting warmed up, I have felt like a runner! :-) keeping in mind that, I am not focusing on speed at this part of my training (but rather longer distances and longer lengths of time) I did want to make sure I was not taking it too easy/slow. So this morning I pushed a little harder and continued to feel great! (Note: I continued to keep my HR in the 60-70% range). Typically I feel like the little engine that could putt putting along but this morning it felt like I was actually M-o-v-i-n-g!!! lol
Alright that is about it for now... stay tuned for my after lunch update!
Lunch update: Hit the gym today worked on my triceps and shoulders. Had a decent work out... I am modifying it from heavy lifting to medium weight with a lot of reps. After weights I hit the treadmill for a pretty uneventful 3 miles. Started off at 10 min/mile pace and each 1/2 mile in increased the pace by .5 miles/min. Finished in decent shape not real strong but not struggling either.
