Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Motivation is lacking, I really don't feel like running. Procrastinated all day and drug myself to the treadmill then decided to do something different. Did 30 minutes of alternating stairs and high knees on small tramp. Need to stop being a  Fatty McButter pants and get running!

1 mile warm up with 6 miles at 7:34 pace with incline ranging from .5-3% incline. Averaged 1% however. Towards the end did 2x200 at 6:00 with 5% incline. Jogged 400 between each at 7:30 pace. Then did 2x200 at 5:50 with 400 jog and incline at .5%. Need to get my legs moving fast again. Felt fine, except for the incline was more challenging with the faster pace 200's.

Started off with bigger plans than what actually took place, but glad for the effort.

I started my warm up and felt tight off the get go with a side ache. Surly it would pass after a good warm up. After .5 I wanted to quit:) Made it to 1.5 warm up then made myself start the intervals. Plan was 3 mile repeats at 5k pace. I did the first in 5:52. Felt pretty tired, but always do after the first and the rest are usually better. 800 jog in between with a quick water break. Jumped on for the second one and did it in 5:49. That one was harder. I was even tighter than before and my side ache was unrelentless. So, taking a lesson from my body, I ditched the last one and never looked back.

I'm assuming the tightness is from being the first week of speed work. Next week will be better. I have definitely lost some fitness over the past two months, which I expected. Can't go against the laws of this sport. You reap what you sow, sometimes that is good, sometimes not so much. I'd like to work up to 5 mile repeats before next months race. We'll see if I can make it through at least 3 next time.

 

Happy Running

Good run with  Andy  and  Kam  early this morning. COLD and icy but felt good to get out. I had to cut my run a little shorter due to needing to get back. Finished at home with some strides.
