AM: Teren didn't get home from work until late last night, so I wasn't able to get my workout in. I guess I will be getting a little rest before the race, even though I hadn't originally planned to cut back. Oh well. It may be a good thing. I'm feeling pretty trashed lately.
I ran an abbreviated form of one of my usual workouts. I warmed up 2.5 miles, and then ran 2 sets of 1:2:3:2:1 with 1:1:2:1:1 recovery. I usually do three sets. Then, I cooled down 2.5 miles.
I found out this morning that I was confirmed as an elite athlete at the Indianapolis Women's Half Marathon on September 3. The race looks so fun! I'm glad that I have something to focus on the next 6 weeks. I love women's only races. Hopefully, I will see a huge improvement over Seattle.
PM: I went to the health club for an easy five on the treadmill. To keep my brain occupied, I started at 8.0 mph, and increased the pace after every song. So, sometimes I sped up after 2 and a half minutes, and sometimes after 5 minutes. It probably averaged out every four minutes. I ended at 8.9 mph. The run felt nice and easy. |
