Good morning to the fabulous cheetahs! I finished off yesterday with a 45 minute EXT workout, that really did me in! But I slept well and am ready to take on the day again :7 I'm going to be trying out a 10k race prep I got from runnersworld today. After a warm up it goes like this: 1/2mile at race pace(RP) minus 20 sec.
then jog/recover 3 min. 1/2 mile RP-10 sec, jog 3 min. 2 miles at RP
jog 3 min, 1/2 mile RP - 10 sec, jog 3 min, 1/2 mile RP-20sec, recover. Sounds challenging and fun!! I think I'll go for some
kickboxing later, not sure yet.
Christine- Please see note above.... {{{{HUGS}}}}}
Marcia- I love circuit workouts myself and I think incorporating them regularly helps "shake things up" and aids in weight loss (IMHO)
It's so frustrating to be stuck in a plateau in regards to weight loss but anything you can do to change things up usually helps.
I think your plan to stick with shorter races and work up to a HM in October is a sound one.
Wendy- sorry your feeling under the weather
I've given the RT some serious thought and I've pretty much decided to go for it!!! If you keep your run very easy today I don't think you'll be overdoing it and hurting anything. In fact, I think it'll make you feel better!
Cathy- You and Wendy have got to post some pics of your GTG!!! Glad you're feeling better now! Doing a workout today?
Gayle- I'd say that CF definitely subs for a 3-5 mile run!!! I am so looking forward to meeting you on the RT :7
Judy- Glad your DDs oral surgery went well! Have a great S&H day!
SunnyD- Since you mentioned a client using Cathe I was wondering about that in regards to your PT sessions. Do you bring up Cathe workouts? Like if a client asks for recommendations for workouts at home?
Carole- Sounds like you have a mega leg workout day planned! I'm sorry to hear your injury got a little aggravated! This is being one stubborn injury! Okay, I was 90% decided on going to the RT, but when I read your post it pushed me over the edge... I'll definitely be there.... I have got to take the opportunity to meet my hero Carole:7 . I'll be honest with you. It will mean much more to me to meet you Wendy, Gayle or other cheetahs then to meet Cathe herself.
Jackie- You ran a 10k distance in an hour??? and this was a training run!!! Honey, you are MORE than ready for a race. You're going to mow em down
WTG!!! I agree, tempo runs are hard, definitely not something you want to be doing more than once a week!!! Keep up the good work cheetah!
Yesterday, I tentatively brought up the topic of the road trip with my DH.... "Honey, there's this weekend trip to Cathe's gym and some of my cheetah friends will be there..." before I could get out another word he said "you should GO!!" I said "But, I haven't even told you the cost yet!" He said it didn't matter I should do this if it's what I want..... what a sweetie:7
Time to get on with the race prep!!
