Tuesday Hills

I have come to love this Tuesday Hills Drills Day! Today it was Jenny, Andrea and Kathrine we did a little over 6 miles at average pace of 8:59 with Hills. The weather was perfect I can only hope it is so nice on Sunday, which I am really looking forward to as even Andrea is running the 1/2 marathon which the more the merrier in my mind.
Today when picking up my kids from Andreas house they were decked out as a Power Ranger and Robin/Peter Pan, this is working out great with the kids! Thanks again Andrea and the clan for watching the boys!

Easy Monday

Today my legs are thanking me for a nice easy morning!! I did 30 mins easy on the precore (great for the hips) and then taught my classes which are more fun than then they are exercising. Would like to get some core strenght in today if I have time!

12 Miler

I was back to my Sunday long run today as I missed last Sunday and never did get a chance to make it up during the week although the mileage stayed up, it just took running everyday (that stinks)! I cant wait for tomorrow to have a break from running.
We did 12 miles this morning are splits I think were fairly good as I felt strong. I can tell you as I am writing this after my shift at Outback my legs are done tired turkeys and the thought of teaching in the morning does not seem pleasing.
I cant wait for the 1/2 marathon next week, just to see if the speed work and long miles will pay off!

Body Flex Super Charged

Miles for the week 36, considering I missed out on Sundays long run I am happy with this number, my hips are begging to differ.
Today I ran with Jodi we did 4 miles at about 9:45ish then I taught Body Flex which they have now renamed Super Charged. I think it was the coffee after the run that put me on fire. So great workout this morning! I found someone to cover my next Saturday class, which will be the 1st time that I take a day off before the 1/2 marathon, I am hoping this will give my legs the extra boost they need to get a better time for the 1/2:)

speed work (kind of)

It is amazing how one day you can feel so tired and the next day you feel great! i decided to do speed work on the treadmill today to make up for yesterday. I did a mile warm up at 9:30 then started speed work.
1st mile at 8:10 min mile incline 1. (b/c of treadmill it seemed to easy compared to outside)
2nd mile at 8 min mile (quick bathroom break the one luxury of the treadmill)
miles 3, 4, and 5 I did in 23:50 Min's. it sounds like it was great but in all reality after doing speed work outside this felt much to easy. Don't get me wrong I worked hard but it just did not have the same feeling as outside. You have the wind, sun, humidity and uneven grounds to conquer.

Wind Training

Today was supposed to be a speed work day, the last few weeks Jenny and I have done this together but today on her birthday her son was sick:( so it was left for me to do by myself. I did not have it in me at all!!! no excuses at all just could not, my legs were toast I could not even get myself to get nine min miles or even close. I did 7 miles (barley) at around 9:45 min pace in the wind at every direction, which is actually good race day practice as you never know what you are going to get that race day. Pretty pathetic. but I ran and that is all that matters.
