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:)

Huh. I've got some burn out going on for sure. Not too excited to do any speed work for this upcoming race, or even run for that matter. Huh. Otherwise things are good!:)

Today I had plans to get a quality run in on the treadmill. After 3.5 miles I got a call to pick up my sick daughter from school. So the last mile I turned it up to 6:11. Felt fine. Wish I could have gone around 8 miles, more tomorrow.

If you want to race fast, you have to train fast, so I was told. But a total BLAH fest transitioning marathon training to 5k.

Today was the first 5k speed workout. Decided to start a little more conservative since I didn't know how running under 6:00 would feel. I put on the Kinvara's and did 6x400's and 1x800 with equal rest. Paces were 5:21, 5:21, then 5:18 for the rest, including the 800. The 400's weren't too bad at all, but the last 800 was not fun.

After that I did 3x4:00 minute intervals on the row. Then core and stretching.

So very sick today. Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing.

Still feeling sick, but was able to make it to the gym for 4 very slow cross training miles on the elliptical. At one point I stopped due to threatening to loose my breakfast. It's funny, the lady next to me told me that maybe I needed to go slower. That was weird, but nice input:) Next week's race will be interesting:)
