Running Nov 11-17

I did 5 mi. on the treadmill Sunday. It was nice outside, albeit very windy - upper 60's temp. But there was too darned much on t.v.! That'll put me inside sometimes, I admit. Compared to several years ago, though, when I used to blow off my workouts to watch the tube, it's an improvement. It was also good to work on my pacing.

Back outside tomorrow for 2-3 miles.

Not quite four on the fitness track again yesterday. Moderate intervals this time, three minutes push, three minutes recovery. Can't remember the last time I ran two days in a row, but it was too nice of a day to stay at the gym after my beginner classes, and no time in my schedule to ride.

10x400 m Americaine on the track last night (I suck compared to our IM/Marathoners). Got my HR up to 190 on the last one

I'm pain-free today but am looking forward to trying those insoles. Coach said they sure "fixed him".

I was still in bed at about 6:45 this morning when I smelled the aroma of fresh croissants baking in our collective kitchen (I live in a residential college). I did not feel like running but I knew I had to get out of bed, run a bit and then get one of those awesome buttery things!

It took me a while but I crawled out of bed and into my warm tights (3C this morning). I just went out for 20 minutes but wow! what a 20 minutes! I did a loop with a LONG (1 k) and rather steep (5% - for running, that's steep to me) hill. The hill is on a main commuting route for cyclists and there was one coming on a road bike, on the road, just as I was starting up the hill. I just took off, telling myself that I hoped she would not pass me before the next corner. Well she never passed me, nor even came close, as I finished a good 20 meters ahead of her. Obviously, I was the only one racing, but it was fun anyway, and I finished in less than 20 minutes, so that I could get to my croissant faster.

Did my long slow run today ..12.25 inside.. on the dreadmill. it went pretty good considering it was on a treadmill. I had to get the run in before the grandbabies came. I had to get off and take a few minutes after 5 miles but than I finished.

I didn't get a run in Monday or Tuesday, probably will not get a run in Thursday so my week is:

Sunday 8 miles tempo
Wednesday 12.25 SLR
I better get some miles Friday and Sat and it better be outside!!

I am about 2 weeks from LV 1/2 marathon Dec 2. Hope my long runs improve.

I ran twice on the treadmill this week both about 2 miles. I ran 3m once outside, I believe on Sunday? Which was a GORGEOUS day. One of those days where it feels like you could run forever. I debating on what to do today. I need to get my car to the shop and thinking about putting my bike on the back so I can ride to work and then home, then to the car. But I also want to run today... so I think I will do both. I can run 4 this afternoon.

I'm doing a trail run tonight. It's going to be really, really, cold and really, really, dark. I'll be testing out my new headlamp. I'm going with two other women so we should be fairly safe. I'm hoping to get in 4 miles, but one of the ladies is pretty slow and does not do well on the trails (so I'm not sure why she wants to try night trail running . . . ?). Anyways, should be fun
