Well my 1 yr old was sick today, so i spent most of the day holding him and my chances of getting a run in slowly slipped away. Thankfully, i had to be at the gym at 6:30 pm to train my biggest loser contestants, so i told myself to run a couple miles.
My original plan was to run 10-11 + speedwork, but i didn't think i'd be able to do it since i had been up with isaac the whole night before. I started on the treadmill about 8 pm, and almost psyched myself out, i almost let myself go home. I told myself if i ran 2 miles i'd feel a lot better, then i could make up the miles tomorrow morning. I got a mile into it, and got myself to commit to 5. I was getting bored, so I decided to do one of the 4 x 1 mile intervals with a mile break in between. I found that i could hold my 6 min mile pretty well, and at that point i just committed to the whole workout i had originally planned. I ran all the intervals:) My times were 1 - 6 min 2 - 5:56, 3 - 5:53, 4 - 5:55. I'm way happy with my effort, and it felt good to get my miles in under 6 min. My legs are definitely tired after that 10 miles. |
