THE RUNDOWN:
- 8am Jama and I met some winter warriors for their first Husky Roadrunners kick off. It was great! I was very impressed with the dedication of the runners. (Considering it was -2 degrees and our kids were off school.) We have a lot of new runners. And we also have a lot of runners who have not done much running outside. Keeping these factors at the top we started our 5K training with Intervals. 1:1. Walk 1 minute, run 1 minute. We did this for roughly 30 minutes which equated to a little more than 2 miles.
- Genesys Athletic Club. I came home, changed and headed to the gym to get some of my training miles in. Sometimes when you run a lone you think you are isolated. Like you are the only one out there training. NOT TRUE! Over the last couple days I have heard many runners training. Regardless of what the Michigan forecast is looking like, there are a lot of people training HARD. It was a great reminded to kick myself back into the hurt locker. "There is always someone training harder than you."
- 1Mile W/U in Track. 3x1600m repeats with 400 easy jog recovery. 3x400m repeats with easy jog in between.
- Total miles 7 miles
- Fastest mile: 6:52
- Mistakes made: I should've Run Faster on mile repeats. Just a Lil bit. I always get scared I wont be able to hang so I hold back.
- Funny: Watching this guy totally having his own dance off on the elliptical! This guy was nuts! I think he was a little crazier than me. I have done a little dancing and singing on the TM but only for a song. He did it over 30 minutes!

Great gifts! My bf surprised me with jewelry, not the running skirt I was expecting haha
ReplyDeleteMichelle, so funny how we love our Running Gear. I need to invest in some new shorts/skirts. Have you found any that you like. I want some that are a little longer. They are hard to find.
DeleteI haven't really looked, but it seems like all the shorts underneath are really short. I want long-ish shorts with rubber on the inside to keep them in place. Not sure I'll be able to find it. Basically I want my tri shorts with a skirt on top!
DeleteI have those very same feetures socks! Well... mine are a little larger. :) And I'm not trying to win the sport kilt; I already have one and would feel bad for taking one from someone else....
ReplyDeleteFritz, You were the one that inspired me to get a sports kilt. I LOVE it. I actually have 2 because my sons fits me! They sure have a lot of colors...And some really cool accessories!
DeleteSuper Valentine's goodies! I am putting those socks on my wish list! I haven't seen that drink but I will be keeping my eye out for it. I drink way too much Crystal Light and I'm ready for a change. I checked out the sport kilts and I'm thinking a size small but would take measurements if I won LOL! Carri~A Running bee
ReplyDeleteYou would definetly be a size small. They have really nice Velcro to size up or down. I LOVE my KILT!!!
DeleteGreat mile repeats Anita - you were smoking! Love the kilt, but i don't think I could pull off the look as good as you;-)
