Had tri class saturday morning, was glad to get a good long workout in, swim, spin, & run. Sunday am I had a 7 mile run planned out. Usually I am not a fan of running with someone, it is hard for me to talk and run. However, a friend offered to run about 3 to 4 with me this am and it was such a pleasure to run with her. We had lots to chat about and 3 miles FLEW by, I swear it was such a good feeling. She turned off at about 3. 25 and I was so happy I had only less than 4 on my own. It was perfect. However, I am a pretty consistent 10.30 miler at these long runs. I would really like to be running them at more of 9.30 and I think I could if I focused and tried, but a part of me just wants to get the miles in. I think next weekend I will do 6 miles (the 9 mile relay I am doing is May 2nd). Ironlady suggested doing 6 miles, first 3 at 10 to 10.30 and then the last 3 at 9. to 9.30 so that might be my goal.
Throw in there some househunting, trying to get our house on the market, an IEP meeting for my daughter and we should be good right ?
Nutrition wise I went to whole foods and hoping to get some good stuff in this body. One thing I do a lot is buy something like edamame and think what a perfect snack, and then I forget about it and 4 months later I find it in the freezer and laugh that I had such a lofty goal. i will try try again.
Nice job on your weekend exercise! Sometimes it's so nice to run with another person!
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is that I bought a bunch of edaname and put them in the freezer in the garage and forgot about them too...until reading this post!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBusy weekend for you! Good luck w/ that edamame this time!
