Sunday Workouts!

Hello, Happy Sunday to everyoe.  I did a 2.5 mile hike.  I would have liked to go longer, but didn't have enough time. 

I went to the gym and did AquaFit. Man, did tha***** bitty instructor work us HARD.

I realized it's been a LONG time since I went to the gym when I got there and discovered the Women's locker room had new lockers with new combination locks and new carpet.

I had to ask someone how to work the new locks.

I ran 9.25 miles indoors today.... ugh! 6.3 pace.....  33.9 miles until I hit 1000 Miles for the year!!!

I ran my first snow run.  It was AWFUL and I know I am being a big baby and drama queen but it was only the thought that I would come back and post here that kept me going.  That was the HARDEST 3.3 miles I have ever run/walked outside a race.  At times I was breathing so hard I had to stop and walk for a while, catch my breath and start running again.  I was blinded by the snow, my glasses were a mess...........I would have killed for contacts today.  It was right on a par with running in over 90 degree weather, something I don't enjoy either...........I definitely have to TOUGHEN up.........anyways, I did it!

i ran 5.25 miles this morning.  It was 43 degrees, so I got totally overdressed expecting it to be extremely cold.  It was a hard run, since I'm fighting off a cold and my lungs were really grasping for air on the last two hills.  Haven't calculated 2009 mileage yet, since there are plenty of days left to complete the season. 

Next season we are thinking of foregoing any marathons, and concentrating on doing strictly 1/2 marathons and duathlons.  We will start mapping out our plan next week over a hearty breakfast.

I went to the YMCA to run since my ipod was dead and it was still a bit icy outside. I had a big hernia repair and a TT the end of October and I am still trying to get back to where I was before. I was running 3 miles three times a week anf 4-5 miles once a week with a group and doing zumba three times a week. I had to keep my drains in for over 4 weeks so that slowed me down. I ran two miles today and walked one and did 15 minutes on the eliptical.I am going to Zumba after work tomorrow.
I asked santa for a GPS watch and did not get one; guess I wasn't good enough!
