Wednesday Workouts

Did 6.5 miles today @ a 9 min pace.

Congrats Cassie!!  Looks like you will hit your goal!!   1000 miles is my goal for next year.   This year I will end up hitting around 875 miles.

I froze outside doing 4.5 miles.  It was great.  I really love the cold weather.  After the run I headed up to the gym to get in a fast 45-minute spin class.  That's it for today.  Next year is going to be a lot more work with a personal trainer, and fewer classes.  It's been a great year so far.

Congratulations on your 1,000 mile mark.  Quite an accomplishment with your injuries this year.

Upper body at the gym.  My exercise ball arrived from Amazon so I am stoked.  I also orderd some Jillian Michaels DVD's that I hope will kick bootie in the cardio dept. 

2.2 miles on the tm.  It was supposed to be a rest day yet I really pushed it.

Wow Cassie, the thought of running 1000 miles in a year stopped me in my tracks.  I'd never thought of something like that.  Is the 1K mark what most "real" runners shoot for?  That's very impressive to me.  I think that you've just given me something else to consider and to use as a goal setting tool.  Maybe not 1000 miles but something lofty from my prespective.  Congratulations to you!

Thanks Duane,

The 1,000 mile goal earns me my jacket with the local running club.  For every 1,000 miles per year after that, members receive a chevron to add to the jacket.  I'm fortunate because running has really become a big part of my social life, so it's easier to get in those miles with friends.  The goal keeps me moving forward even if I'm not training for a particular event.
