Today I ran in my new hot pink running skirt and
loved it! I may be converted over to skirts.
Today's workout was on my home treadmill. After a
1.5 mile warm-up, I planned to run 5 miles at 7:00 pace. After the first mile I
felt pretty good so I increased the pace. When I got to 5 miles I still felt
good so I decided to make it a 10k. Ran the last mile in 5:50 and finished 6.2
miles in 40:50. I was surprised how well I felt and that makes me excited! I hope
to take off 3 minutes off that pace this year. I have never really focused on
the 10k, so I have some room for improvement in the PR area. Today was a good
bench mark to see where I am at.
Although a good run, it came at a high price. The
last few minutes of my workout, my 21 month old pushed over the barrier I
created to barricade the treadmill and he went flying. He has two large
bloody goose eggs on each side of his forehead:( Did I mention I stepped on him
and didn't get a scratch on me? Waaaaahhhh!!!
