6 miles in 6:50 pace Wow, its amazing what a little rest and easy running can do. My soreness has rapidly improved since Sunday. I was even a little antsy to push the pace a little this morning. Did 6X30 second strides after a few miles. This run was on the treadmill since we are still experiencing record cold here in Boulder. It think the temp was in the negatives all morning. Its deceiving though because it is SO sunny and nice outside! Today is supposed to be the last day of cold and then we'll get back up to our usual mid-40s for February. I saw a funny scene in the women's locker room this morning. A woman who must have been in her late 60s, very thin and healthy looking in her birthday suit, stepped on the scale and gasped "WHAAAAAT??!" As if to say, "I gained weight?!?!" Then quickly commented afterwards, "Oh yeah, I forgot that I ate breakfast this morning." Hahahaha....maybe you had to be there but I almost laughed out loud because she was just talking to herself but to me passing by it sounded hilarious. Maybe after menopause you can pretty much plateau on your weight and predict within .1 lb what you will weigh each day, but I personally fluctuate 3-4 lbs on a daily basis, which is why I rarely weigh myself. If I slowly start to notice my jeans fitting tighter, I eat healthier. If I have to cinch the belt buckle another hole tighter, I figure I must be eating a little too healthy and I should bake a cake. That's my weight management plan. |
