I was really excited to run in the beautifual weather today!
i started out with core class, and made them do a little more pilates and yoga. it felt good to stretch out a bit myself. Lots of balance and ball work - so my core muscles got worked!
I finally got out to run at 12 - my neighbor volunteered to watch my kids - otherwise it would've been all on the dreadmill.
I ran towards la verkin through cholla creek and stopped on 3 different steep hills.I ran 800m up, 800 m jog at the top, and then 800 m back down the hill. My first, steepest hill up averaged a 6:55, 2nd was 6:49, and 3rd was 6:48. On the downhills, i averaged 5:30, 5:23, and then the 3rd less steep hill was 5:48. I got pretty worried cause my downhill sprints were making my abs hurt again. on the 2nd hill, it even felt like it was twinging. By the time i got down, it was a little hard to breathe and i had to massage it a bit. ahhhh. My abs were sore the rest of the time, but not too horribly. got to call april and have her work it out.
So 11 miles in today. My regular pace seemed pretty slow today - it was slow! Don't know why. I need someone to push me i guess.
I trained my 2 big loser contestants at night, and then taught flex. I'm getting good at not doing most of it since my body was already exhausted!
