5 mile Gulch to Orchard Gulch - 1:07

I called this evening "ground zero." There is nowhere in running to go from here but up...I am about 15 lbs overweight and have probably averaged about 20 mpw in 2009. I'm like a contestant in "The Biggest Loser" just struggling to make it through my runs each day. Can I be fit by spring if I improve my mileage and commitment to running? I believe I can, but I know the first couple of months won't be pretty.

Tonight's run was gorgeous, but tough. I started on Rocky Canyon Rd. and did the loop. Along the way, I gained 1,100' elevation in the first 3 miles. I did have to stop and walk twice. I was not expecting that. The fruit in Orchard Gulch isn't quite ripe yet, so I'll have to come back later, which is fine, because there are hands down my favorite trails in the Boise front.

PMI: 15 x Train Depot Intervals with the team. New workout - I broke the team into 3 groups. Most groups ran 5 of the intervals, while I just did all of them. I had between 15 and 30 seconds of rest between, so I was breathing hard at the end. It was fun.

PMII: 15 minutes ellyptical and 20 minute hard weights at Golds

Borah Park and back - NT

First ever run with Nica in the stroller. She seemed to like it, so this will hopefully become something we do on a regular basis.

 

A glorious 17 miles for the week. Wow. Can I start back in training next week? (This week didn't really pan out)
