This morning we went on a run.....however, let me backtrack and fill you in on yesterday. I love running, but I always look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays because it is water aerobics days. Connor and I were up, out the door and to the pool, only to find out that it was temporarily closed. GREAT! That is the perfect start to the day. I pretended to tell myself that it was fine, I could use the time out productively by running a few errands in the morning and then get a strength training workout in later in the day. Let me tell you how that plan went....two thumbs way down! I did get the errands run but started getting a migrane and didn't want to deal with that, so I basically just tried to take care of myself the rest of the day.
Today, I woke up feeling incredibly refreshed and ready to take on my new challenging run. I guess my head was ready but my body was still waking up. My legs were sooo heavy, but in all fairness I haven't pushed myself like that in quite some time. I did a brief warm-up, did one 5X1, ran for 15 minutes straight, walked for 2min. and then ran the rest of the way to the house for a total of 7:30 minutes. After looking at the Garmin, I had to remind myself that I can't be concerned with my miles/minute right now, but that I am focusing on completing the workout and building endurance.
I finished 2.58 miles in 34:32.
