Monday speed: 3-1 mile repeats with a warm up and cool down and 2 min walking RI between each mile: 5.67 miles in 50:02. I was pretty impressed with my speed yesterday. It pretty much made my day! Running followed by back and abs.
What a difference certain aspects of training makes. I've mentioned before my dissatisfaction with our local YMCA, well, we dumped it yesterday and I went back to Gold's...which I love. It's not quite as convenient but it's pretty close to work and it gives me energy. I'm focused during my workouts and get in there and knock it out successfully. I don't wander around in there, I just get it done. Plus, they have much better equipment! I'm so happy to be back! I also got an awesome price on my membership. I'm pretty sure the guy on the phone misquoted me, but I wasn't going to pay tons of money every month to go to the gym in this economy. So, I got $1 enrollment and a cheap monthly rate. I was thrilled! We're now saving 63% on our gym membership now that John's back at PF and I'm at Gold's!
Today is John's birthday!!! Yay! Happy 28th Birthday to my hubby!!!
I really, REALLY want to run the Rock n Roll Philadelphia 1/2 marathon
but John said I have to wait until next year. I feel like I need to get in lots of races during training because:
1. Last time, I trained for 8 months until our first race and it burned me out since I didn't have milestones along the way
2. I feel like I waste mileage when I can run those distances easily and I don't take advantage of it
I'm still working on him. I LOVE Philly! I would get to see:
All on the race course...talk about a good price for a tour of the city! If I could only get John to agree!
What race are you dying to run??
