5:15 am Speedy Spaniard course with Merri and Susan. The temps were good and I felt like it was a good pace. 7 miles I ran with them. I enjoy running with those girls.

 

 

After I drove Merri up to get her car at the start, I headed back to the gym for some weight lifting. I had  a really good weights day today. I'm not sure why, but I just didn't feel tired or strained from it. Maybe I'm getting stronger.

After lifting weights I looked over at the treadmill and it was like the twilight zone. It was like the tm was beckoning my already tired legs to come run some more. Ha ha! So I did! I ran 3.25 more SPEED INTERVALS -after already running a good steady 7 miler outside. It was actually good. When you push your body doing sprints, it does something to you for the rest of the day. You get MORE energy (at least I do) and I feel like I am on a natural high for the majority of the day. I felt really good when I left. sweaty betty! On my drive home I leaned over in my car and grabbed a couple of pumps of hand sanitizer, because let's face it, the gym is a dirty greasy place, blech! But I digress..... Well as soon as I rubbed my hands together with the sanitizer, I could feel all the sweaty salt crystals on my hands. YUCK! I did sweat a lot today. LOL

I completely agree with the photo - it is especially difficult really early in the morning! Great workout today.
