Hangin' Loose

Was able to get in a run today at 7pm and 10,000 ft.  I shouldnt have eaten a big dinner and expect to run.  Made it into a speed interval workout with a few potty breaks.  Was kind of the first speedwork in months.  With 3 intervals in the sub 7 pace I was feeling good.  Also got in 3 sets of my normal workout(push-ups, lunges, planks, flamingos and leg lifts).  With 3 sets of leg press, bench, bi curls, lat pull downs.  Was a great workout.  And glad I wasnt sore for the ride home.:)

7 and half hour drive home.  Scrabbling to get stuff put away and situated.

Got in my normal sets of flamingos, lunges, push-ups, planks and leg lifts.  Was hoping to get in a run after dropping the girls off.  But didnt happen.  Might need to really look into runs in the early morning again.  Once things get back to normal.

I have really needed to get in some long runs if I plan on running a marathon in 4 weeks. My recovery has been going well and so just building up miles for this coming race. Needed to do a good long run though. So we went out with the hopes of getting in a 16 miler. We had the girls this weekend and added to the challenges of everything. The morning was gorgeous and temp was just right. Wore just shorts and long sleeve shirt with gloves. Didnt peel off the gloves till around mile 11 but felt great the whole time. We just plugged along. Did get a hot spot going around mile 8 and was tried to ajust it a few times. Did really end with a blister. Figure I need to cut more on soles for my orthotics to fit right. We got 12 miles nice and easy. Then miles 13-14 were in the 9:15-20 range. So talked MrsFit into kicking it up for the last 2 miles. We hit them at 8:15-19 range so felt really good about this run. MrsFit is going to do awesome at the half. As for my marathon I am going to just make it a good long run without much taper is how I see it at the moment.
