I've been running since I was nine.  I'm married to a fellow runner who inspires and supports me.  We have two children:  Cole (4) and Lily (18 mos.)  I help Bill Cobler coach cross country at East High School.

One hour treadmill run with a little bit of speed thrown in.  First, I warmed up for 15 minutes.  Then, I did three sets of 3 min. 2 min. 1 min. with 2 min. 2 min. 1 min. recovery.  I ran the recoveries at 7.5 mph.  The first set I ran 9.2, 9.6, and 10 mph.  Set 2 was 9.3, 9.7, and 10.1 mph.  Set 3 was 9.4, 9.8, and 10.2 mph.  The workout was a little tough, but not out of control.  I just want to start improving my pace and get a little turnover going. 

I'm really pleased this week.  It's difficult not to go crazy and ramp up the training.  This is my first full week of running, and I hit 40 miles this week.  I know that is still pretty minimal, but it's a long way from where I started 4 weeks ago. 

 

If I have time, I may go take St. Patrick's Day Zumba later this morning.  Do they celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Brazil?
