Emily's training blog

Today is going to be a crazy day.  I have to get kids ready for school, take them to school, get a present for a birthday party, pick up Lily from school, get Lily and Myles lunch, go volunteer at Cole's field day, pick up Cole, take Lily, Cole, and Myles for a haircut, take Lily to a birthday party.  Plus, I'm going to try to sneak a strength class in there somewhere.  So, it was nice having 45 quiet minutes to myself to run today.  I used to run to be fast.  Now I just run for sanity.  

I ran my Costco loop today.  The pace was brisk, 7:05 average.  I felt a little off, though.  I gave blood on Saturday for my friend's blood drive, and then fasted for fast Sunday.  I was a little nauseated the entire run.  I'll have to take some iron over the next few weeks.  

Managed to fit the total body conditioning class in this morning.  Kim changed the class up.  Oh, those endurance drills are hard.  Especially the frog jump/toe tap combo.  Ouch.

4800S to river trail.  Off at Bullion.  It was windy today and my legs were very heavy.  When I ran by the high school some doofus high schooler yelled "Run Forest!"  Wow.  I haven't heard that totally original comment since 1995.  I bet he thought he was hilarious, too.  7:07 average pace.  No cycle class today.  I'm going to Park Day with Lily for preschool.  Being a mom trumps training any day!

Short on time so short on run. 5.1 miles 7:05 average. I have a big workout day planned for tomorrow.

Happy National Running Day!

I ran longer today.  It was a little tougher after about six miles.  I need to build my endurance up again.  Still, it was a nice run.  I ran out 1300W to 7000S, and then dropped down to the river trail.  I took the river trail to Millrace Park and came back through the neighborhood.  My Garmin completely died at 7 miles.  At that point I was at 7:06 pace. 9:15 am cycle class. I am so hungry now!

I met Jenny at Murray Park (yay!) for a run today.  We ran to Wheeler Farm, around, and back. I was so happy to run with Jenny again.  She took it easy on me.  My legs were tired from yesterday.  We still managed to hit 7:12 pace.  After I took Zumba and lifted weights.  

It was a little tough getting going this morning.  I stayed up late watching The Host with Teren.  It was a step up from Twilight, but still not Academy Award material.  Teren didn't love it.  

I ran 4800 S to the river trail.  I left the trail at Winchester.  Hello nasty Winchester hill.  I haven't missed you.  I came back on 1300W.  7:06 pace.  I seem to be stuck in a pace rut.  

When I got home I rode 30 minutes on the bike while I watched The Wonder Years; my favorite show growing up.  I love netflix.

Another good step back to full fitness!
