Slow & Steady Wins the Race :-)

Sucked today again. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of the weather it is RIDICULOUS.  Today's weather was especially terrible - SNOW on the ground when I got up, pouring rain, amazing wind, hail, etc. etc. ETC. today.  First weekend in a LONG time that I haven't got in at least 1 run outside, which is really depressing because I am soooo tired of the treadmill and I swear its giving me shin splints.

So 3 miles walking earlier, then painted a room, then decided to try and run a little (though it was already 9:30pm), ran about 1.2 miles and shins were killing me so walked some at 8.5% incline and then rounded the walk out to 2.4.  Not a very productive day.

I decided today though that I need to plan out my workouts for the week (not just the mileage) so maybe I'll be more accountable.  We'll see how it works out.

Monday - 5 miles - speed workout

Tuesday - 4 miles - easy; 90 minute hot yoga

Wednesday - 4 miles - 1 tempo; 90 minute power yoga

Thursday - 3ish - whatever I can get in in the morning - then VEGAS

Friday - I'll probably do the long run on Friday this weekend since I'll be in VEGAS! 

Wow its been a long day.  But I'm done with my final!  yippee.  So had that, then a ridiculous amount of work that HAD to be done, and finished painting the room, and now its 11:15pm and I neeeeed to go to bed.  So sad, I ate Samoas instead of running. Suck!

I'll do better tomorrow. 

FINALLY got a workout in this week!  It has been ridiculous!  Ridiculously BAD!

This morning, did 6 miles on the TM. 5 @ 6.5 (9:13), last 1 alternated .25 miles at 8.0 (7:30) with .1 or so at 6.5.  Did 3 of those, so .75 at 8.0 (7:30).

Off to VEGAS!!!

3 quick miles on the treadmill before we left for the airport.  Probably 6.7?  I don't remember.

5 miles around Las Vegas.  If I remember later I'll look up the splits on the Garmin and add them, but it wasn't fast at all.  Most of the miles were around 9-9:30, except mile 4, which was on the strip and weaving around people and had to walk single file at one point (ughhhh) so it was 11:20 or something ridiculous.  Running on the strip, while lots of interesting things to look at, is NOT enjoyable.  Maybe if you got up earlier it would be less crowded.

Splits: 9:04, 10:19, 9:19, 11:21, 9:25

Avg Pace: 9:54, Total Ascent: interesting, this is definitely wrong.  Wonders if the satellite think I went up in the elevator or something?
