I was just about to leave for the health club to do my run when I received a call from a friend who wanted to meet up with the kids for lunch. So, that only gave me an hour to get my workout in. I ended up running a couple of miles shorter than I had originally planned, but it was a quality workout.
I wanted to do some tempo running, so I decided 2 x 10 minutes would be a good start. I warmed up 10 minutes and then jumped into my workout. The first interval I started at 10.0 mph, and jumped to 10.1 at the halfway point. Ten seconds before I was finished with the interval, the treadmill jerked to a stop. I felt like I was going to be thrown from the treadmill. After switching treadmills, I ran easy for 5 minutes, and then did my second interval. On the second interval I started at 10.1 mph, and increased every 3 minutes. I finished the last 2 minutes at 10.4 mph. Then, I cooled down until I hit 7 miles. Total time for 7 miles was 45:50. Next time I do this workout, I would like to add one more 10 minute rep. Then I should be ready to put it all together for a 30 minute tempo run.
After my workout, I grabbed my kids from the daycare and headed to McDonalds for a lunch date. (Don't worry, I ate a chicken wrap and a side salad . . . no big macs for me after a tempo run!) Every other mommy in Taylorsville had the same idea. Holiday + snowy weather = a total zoo at McDonalds. I like my own children, but 50 other little monkeys running around the playground was a little much. I especially disliked the one that kept screaming for no reason other than he liked the sound of his voice . . . I should have stayed at the health club and finished 3 more miles!

Swelling in my arch and tight calves . . . time for a couple of cross training days. I don't need any more achilles mishaps. | | Add Comment |

AM: I stayed at my house, dusted off my spinning bike, and cycled for an hour while watching crappy tv. I watched an episode of Pretty Little Liars and an episode of Grimm before the ride was through.
PM: I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes before Boot Camp class. Andrea came and met me to share in the torture. There were only three of us suckers in the class, Andrea, myself, and a tri-athlete. We worked hard. I like having a 5 pm class available, but I hope the attendance picks up so they don't take it off the schedule. I am going to be so sore tomorrow!!! | | Add Comment |

Andrea came and met me again for a cycling class. I'm glad I have a buddy to be a gym rat with. I don't know if I would have made it to the club if I didn't know that she was going to be there. Lily had one of her not-so-wonderful nights and screamed from 1-3. I was trying the tough love approach and letting her cry it out. Finally, at 3 she settled down and I was able to rock her for a few minutes until she slept.
Class was tough. I'm already sore from last night, which means I'm going to be in serious pain by this evening. Yesterday's hour in front of the tv was much easier.

My foot seems to be doing better. I was just going to do an easy run, but got ancy and decided to do a workout. I warmed up 3 miles, and then ran 10 sets of 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off. Then, I cooled down until I reached nine miles.
After the workout, I went to the club and lifted. I am still sore from Wednesday! My workout was:
3 x 10 clean and presses
3 x 10 flies
3 x 10 bicep curls (regular, hammer, and out-ins)
3 x 10 shoulders, alternating presses and front-raises
3 x 10 triceps alternating with tricep dips
3 x 15 each leg step-ups
3 x 12 one legged squats on stability pad
