Just one race at a time

rest day

Ran 7X400 meters at 7:30  It was much harder this time.  I need to keep telling myself that it is suppose to be hard that is why the call it a WORK out!

Lifted for quad glute ham and calf

did 3 sets of 8 pull ups on the Gravitron

Four miles outside today on rolling hill route (Davis Blvd)

Splits: 9:00, 8:41, 8:24, 8:12

It was hard but I am trying to make my workouts harder so that I can see improvement or at least get used to the pain!

3 miles 1% incline first one at 6.5 (9:13 pace) last two at 7.0 (8:34 pace)  It was not easy but not as hard as in the past hopefully it is a combination of me getting faster and over my cold.

Lifted for hamstrings and then spent way too much time on the gravitron (Teena I said your name in vain several times today sorry!) I put just enough weight on the gravitron to do one pull-up and I tried to do two at that weight then I would add 10 pounds and try and do three etc. (when you add weight to the gravitron it is easier not harder)  I am not sure how many pull-ups I did but I can't move my head or neck right now (Oh sorry Teena I just said your name in vain again! Teeeeennnnnaaaa) I am saying your name the way Captain Kirk said Kaaaahhhhnnn in the second Star Trek move!

Spin - hill intervals, I forgot my heart rate monitor and felt naked in class without it!

Ran 3 miles 1% incline speed 6.5 (9:13 pace)

Lifted quad, Gravitron 3 sets of 6 pull-ups at easier weight.

spin class

Elliptical 6 miles 11% resistance 43:06 Getting much faster!

Lifted for arms

Gravitron 8 pull-ups lowered weight by 10 pounds, 6 pull-ups lowered weight again, 5 pull-ups. Still 0 pull-ups on my own!

Yoga - I could do a pose call side crow today for the first time.  In the past I have been able to get into the pose but not hold it for very long.  I think because I have been spending so much time on my back and shoulders it has become easier.  On my left side I think I could hold it all day. this is what it looks like if I can bring in the photo.

I wanted to do 13 miles today with Kimmy but we couldn't get together so I planed on doing 6 before the Christmas breakfast this morning.  One emergency after another prevented me from going before the party.  Then one fun thing after another prevented me from going after.  Finally around 4:00 I changed and started to go out when my son came home, said that he was going to babysit his girlfriend's puppy which being translated from teenager into English ruffly means "mom if you don't want to be cleaning little messes up of the carpet all night you will need to babysit the dog"  I took the dog to the park and started to run with my Garmin hoping I could get a few miles in but the dog wouldn't follow.  Finally I convinced my daughter to watch her while I ran.  I started out all was going well until it started to get dark and I noticed I was wearing pavement gray and nothing reflective at all!  I turned around and ran home I could have put on something reflective and gone out for the last three miles but the puppy had already done her business on the carpet so I stayed home and watch her.  I guess I was not ment to run today!

splits 9:54 (with dog at park), 8:07, 8:13
