Stay healthy so that I can run long into my life! Try and get faster on shorter miles this winter. Try and focus on having fun with running and helping other people along the way!
Personal:
I have been married for 14 years, I have 3 boys and 1 beautiful little girl!
Ran out to Powerhouse Road and back. Schedule showed 60-70 min run, I opted for the 70 min run, kept it nice and easy the whole time. Tomorrow is another easier day, and then on Thursday I get to do some speed work...yaahhoooo!
Scheduled showed 35-45 min run. I chose to split the difference and run 40 min. My back was a bit sore this morning from yesterdays run and also I stretched it really good last night. Tomorrow is speed day!!! I am excited as crazy as that sounds!
Today I was finally able to do a little speed work, though it wasnt much it still was fun. Schedule showed 10-12 25 second strides with a 1 min recovery. I warmed up for 17 min and then stretched a bit and then hit the start button on the watch. My goal was to do at least 10 and then shoot for 12 if my body was feeling ok. I was able to finish all 12 anf they were all under a 6:00 min pace. I felt in control and could have pushed each on harder but I stayed relaxed. The hardest part was running the 4 miles back to my house. Cooled down for 31 min, went in the house and stretched and hit the shower then off to work.
Got out before Kellie today, and went out 20 min and back to the house. Today was suppose to be a recovery day from yesterday so I took it nice and easy. Tomorrow thew schedule shows a 9-10 mile run, sounds like and miserable but I am feeling like things are working!!!
Ran out in the snow today and it really wasn't fun. The snow kept sticking to the bottom of my shoes and making it uneven for me to run but I kept running out towards Osbornes. The roads got better towards Spanish Fork so I kept on running to my parents house. My dad gave me a ride home and I was glad that I kept on running towards SF because I really didn't want to run back on the roads in Salem. Today was my longest run since Thanksgiving, it seems that my training program is working. I am slow, but I will get faster everyday!
