I warmed up twenty minutes and then ran a fartlek workout. 3 x 1,2,3,2,1 minutes with 1,1,2,11 minute recovery. I felt pretty good for 6 am. 6:53 average. I'm trying tp ramp up the training a bit. I'm having a tough time getting focused and serious, but I will get there eventually.

Later AM: I took a zumba class. My usual zumba instructor was gone. So, I ended up taking zumba from a one-armed zumba instructor. She was terrible. Not because she had one arm, but because she couldn't stay on beat and her coreography was boring. I get frustrated with poor instructors. Yes, I'm being mean and snobby. I should have taken cycle class instead.

Treadmill day. I ran for sixteen songs. I was going to run fifteen, but I wasn't quite at an hour, so I ran for one more song. I made 9.17 miles in 63 minutes. I also threw in six two minute hills at three percent incline, one every ten minutes. I have lots of tricks for avoiding boredom on the treadmill.

I met Caisa and her friend Carrie in Daybreak this morning. I'm enjoying my Thursday Daybreak runs. We were moving pretty quickly today. 7:14 average. I'm ready for a long workout tomorrow.
