Today’s Run: \u00a04.20 miles~~~Intervals<\/p>\n
We ran today. \u00a0We ran Intervals today. \u00a0Ugh.<\/p>\n
My husband told me last night that we would be running intervals this morning. Yikes! \u00a0I had bad dreams last night. \u00a0Dreams of running as fast as I could and not moving forward~not even one little step. \u00a0Dreams of running from monsters who were out to get me and not moving forward~not even one little step. \u00a0Dreams of just trying to run and actually losing ground~going backwards! \u00a0A lot of steps! \u00a0Intervals strike terror in my heart. \u00a0He should have waited until this morning to tell me. \u00a0I could have had a decent nights sleep that way.<\/p>\n
It was not as bad as my dreams this morning. \u00a0Instead of doing 10 X 400’s we ran 20 X 100’s. \u00a0I think that is an improvement? \u00a0Instead of running one mile warm up and then going all out, we ran one mile warm up and then did some “easy”, some “medium”, and some “hard” with some different combinations tossed in “for grins”. \u00a0After all of that, we did another one mile run to theoretically cool off. \u00a0Funny that, thinking that a one mile run will cool you off.<\/p>\n
I hope that we did not over do it. \u00a0We have a 12 miler with the running group tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. \u00a0Usually, the day after intervals I am worthless. \u00a0Maybe that is why we only did 100’s instead of 400’s. \u00a0All I know is, I am not going to argue with the “coach”!<\/p>\n
We have a full marathon coming up on October 20. \u00a0We are going to follow Hal Higdon’s Novice II program. \u00a0It does not call for any interval training. \u00a0Yay! \u00a0But we decided to do a little bit on our own before the real training begins.<\/p>\n
Training for the marathon begins officially on June 17. \u00a0One month from today. \u00a0Wish us luck, safety and speed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
