They are kinda starting to run together! This week, however, I have managed to find a way to fit in all of my runs and still have Wednesday as a rest day :) (Wednesday has proven to be a tough day for me to get my run on...) Somehow just knowing that fact- makes this week seem so easy!
Todays run- 6 miles with 4 at tempo: Got cut short to 3.5... Fortunately- the last mile was so fast that it brought my avg up to game plan:) It was cold out, very cold! Thought about sticking to the tm in my warm basement with my pacer shorts and tank- not 4 layers of clothes and 2 hats... But then I started thinking, if I did this run on the tm, it would feel like one more thing checked off my list. But if I went outside- it would feel like something I am doing for me. Like a gift; a crazy insane gift wrapped up in negative temps, but a gift nontheless! So- thats what I did.
I am really glad I did. Once my face numbed to the wind- I felt really good. Maintained 9:30 or so for 1st mile, then got a call and had to turn around. Second miles was 8's and 7's. Felt good and knowing I was dropping several miles, I would NOT let myself stop. Weeeee- what a ride!
Today's run, what can I say?? I suppose, on the positive, I can say that it is Wednesday and I still managed to run. On the treadmill even:) Definately felt my right knee, so kept it slow... Thinking that Shred may not get done this week- is it the strength sessions that flare up the ITB or is it just the Yoga Fusion?? Experimentation is the only way to find out I suppose... Ooooh Ooooh, Almost forgot- I did 100 pushups today! Yeah, I did!!! 10 sets of 10 with 30 seconds in between. Going on to 10 of 10 with 15 seconds next week. *smile*
