For This I am Happy
I am in the tempo run phase of my training now. I was supopsed to do 4 miles @ 8:50 pace.
Monday Workout
Monday I thought I would try a tempo run since that is what is scheduled for Wednesday night. 4 miles at 8:50 pace. It was dark, but since I am the only house on the country road, it should have been all good. I could only see my watch at two places on the road - at my driveway and at the other end by the airport radar tower.
First Coaching Session
Awesome day Saturday. I had half my team show up for their first training session. They were great. They were excited and they were up to the challenge of starting on their journey to marathon bliss. Week 1 down and 20 some more to go.
Eat This, Not That giveaway.
I started reading the one that is about fast food and it really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I thought I knew but didn't really understand when it came to eating fast food. I always though eating chicken would be better for you, but as this book has told me sometimes it's not worth it at all. There are so many options and nutrition is important to all of us. The latest book is the Supermarket Survival Guide and it's the one I'll also be giving away to one lucky person!
Wednesday Track Practice
Well my schedule said to run another 16 x 400 meters. My last set of intervals before I start tempo miles next week. I really wasn't up to it so I did some internet research, because we all now internet people know it all. I came up with a plan that was still intervally but mixed things up a little.
Weekend workouts
Saturday was a nice day. The whole weekend was great. Temperatures were up and the sun was out. Saturday I met up with the spring team for a sort of long run. They had 6 to go and I ran an extra loop and got 8.83 miles in 1:28:59. Good for a 10:04 pace. Not bad for not running long in three weeks.
STEELERS WIN!!!
Do I really need to say anything more?
