Another day of improv as far as the workout was concerned. Got to Heather's at 6:00am to be stood up (paybacks are heck). So I went home and back to bed (I know, I know...)
I had a PT appt. at 10:00 so I decided to get to the gym early and get a few miles on the treadmill before the workout. I only got in 2.25, then it was time to meet her. She stood me up too! (Her daugher was sick, so she was home w/ her). Maybe my friends and associates are trying to tell me something? (j/k.. hopefully....) It was actually a good thing that she stood me up, I was relieved. I'm still sore from my last workout w. her and I didn't want to be sore for the 5k on Sat.
SO- I hopped back on the treadmill. Overall I got in 5 miles in 45 minutes- 9 min. pace. I had a really good run (broken into 2 segments). I didn't run a consistent pace, but did lots of strides- would go to about 8 min. miles, hold for awhile- then recover... over & over again. The "women's" room at the gym in nice & quiet, just a few of us in there and Rachel Ray was on so it was a good distraction. She was suprising people w/ Christmas gifts and it brought a tear to my eye. I'm so cheezy- running & crying....
Just wanted to add a big THANK YOU to all of you who stop by my blog and leave encouragement. Like Lybi said- even if you just say- "You ran, good" It means the world!!! You guys are the best!! |
