Yoga - Hard class with a lot of back bends I really don't like back bends and she had us do back bend push ups I couldn't even do one how pathetic is that!

I went out for a ten mile run today.  I wanted to keep up my base miles from the marathon even though I am only training for a half.  We were going to leave for the BYU game at 9:30. I was going with my cute friends so I couldn’t just throw on a baseball hat and call it good I had to have time to get ready.  I left the house at 6:15, it was very dark and it stayed dark for most my run I really need to find a running buddy, it was not really safe running in the dark alone.  Anyway I didn’t really run faster than normal but I did feel really strong at the end so this made me happy.

Ran 5x400 at 5k pace which is 7:30 for me.  I did this on the treadmill.  One mile warm up first one 7:30 pace seemed to easy walked 100 then next one at 7:24 pace walk 100 and did the same for the third and fourth still seemed a little to easy so I did the fifth at 7:00 pace.

Here is my question for all you pros out there because this seemed to easy next time should I

a) jog not walk rest interval

b) run them all at 7:00 pace

c) walk/jog only 50 meters

d) something else I am to new to even know

Oh by the way next time I do this speed work out I will do 6 interval instead of 5

Lifted for quad, ham, calf and glute

A little bird called me at 12:00 today and said I was a slacker because I had not posted yet.  I told her that it was because I had not gone for my run yet.  Good thing for her and this blog or I might have just blown it off.

I went out and delivered flyers around the neighborhood for our trunk or treat party during my run.  So I am counting it as fartlek training, (run to the house and then post flyer) hill training (up and down the drive ways) and cross training (up and down the stairs).  I call that a well rounded work out!

3 miles in 33 minutes - Hey smooth what does the number three mean?

3 miles today put the incline at 2% and the speed at 9:12 (what an odd pace but it is 6.5 on the treadmill) bumped up the speed for the last quarter mile to 7.0 felt good at the end.

Lifted for biceps, triceps, abs and back

Spin class – VERY HARD almost like a tempo run she called it - sustained pace I called it 60 min of “puke pace” on a hill! (ok only 45 min with the cool down and warm up but I wanted everyone to fill sorry for me!)
