12 Mile Mark
Distance: 12 miles
It's hard to motivate myself to keep up with the mid-week runs when I'm still doing alright (good, even!) on the long Saturday ones.

72 days
Distance: ?
I wasn't feeling too great running today, and again, even the slight inclines were tortuous. Boo!

Distance: ?
Why, oh why, did I choose to run around lower Queen Anne? It's deceptively hilly, and my planned 40 minutes of jogging was cut in half due to ineptness at inclines. Completely brutal!

74 Days
I found this workout noted in my inbox while cleaning out my emails yesterday. I forget where it's from, but some fitness magazine I suppose! I was surprised how hard the biking and elliptical were, which just goes to show that I need to be challenging my body in ways other than jogging.
Note: RPE is perceived exertion.
Bike |
0:00-5:00 Warm up gradually (RPE 5) |
Elliptical |
0:00-3:00 Move at a moderate level (Level 6-9; RPE 5-7) |
Treadmill |
0:00-2:00 Walk briskly or jog (3.5 or 5.8 mph; RPE 5-7) Crazy Talk: I'm thinking about training for the Rock 'n Roll Marathon in June. Let me finish the 10 miles this Saturday first. :) |

The gym. Even first thing in the morning, it is unbelievably hot and sticky in there. I really wish they would open a window, because no fresh air + no air conditioning is making two miles feel like five.
I'm actually following the training plan this week. I have a 25 and 30-minute run to complete before the 10 MILES on Saturday.
Cross Training:
Trying out a pilates mat class tonight.
