Good Morning!
I can't beleive my days off are almost over. I put in for holidays this past weekend so I am back to work wed and thurs and then off again until Mon night...pretty good,hey? Im all fooled up in the days, I keep thinking that we are one day behind.
Im up early to get ready for my race. There were only 50 people who registered so its a wee bit smaller then last weeks run! LOL When we went out last night I met up with my friend who asked me to do it with her and when I seen her she was tanked! I made her stop drinking, Im suppose to pick her up at 7:30 and she better be up!!!! The furthest she as ever ran is 7 kms, this race is 10 kms, I think she is gonna suffer. Booze, plus not ever running that far? She better pace herself.
I bought myself a nice running sweater yesterday out of some bday money and DH and my sister pitched in on a sattilite (sp?) radio I can run with. Ive been talking about it for a while, not knowing if I could even buy one. We found one last weekend but it was almost 400 bucks! The two of them went in on it and my mom also chipped in. I think I am gonna give them my other bday money towards it as well.Its awful expensive~! My MIL gave me $50 and a 45 mins masssge gc, my GMIL gave me $20 and DH also bought me a waterpillow.
Ameila** When I started running, I ran a 7 mins kms. Now I run a 5 mins km. According to last weeks run, I ran a 4.93 mins kms. And I think it is all due to interval training. I always interval train on my TM, unless I am going for distance and watching a movie, which I haven't done in a while. If 4.6 is comfy for you, then you could run 4.5 for .10 of a mile, then 5.0 for .10 of a mile and then 5.5 for .5 of a mile. Do that 4 x's and you will have 1 mile down. I think its the only way to improve, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zome if you want to run further and faster. And don't be afraid to walk. If you get tired, just slow it down. Your endurance will increase eventually. Something else I do it increase my speed every 2 mins for 10 mins, which makes another mile for me. By the time I am .60 of a mile I am slowly comming out of my comfort zone. Im probably doing a 6.6 - 7.0 mile but its only 2 mins, so its no big deal, right?
Pinny** I have the hardest time finding music that I LOVE! Untill I hear someone elses Ipod! My sister had some pretty good music on her Ipod last weekend,but oddly enough I couldn't find it when I was running. I uploaded some new tunes yesterday on my ipod so hopefully that will get me in the running mood. Right now, my eyes feel like 2 pin holes~!
Belinda** Thanks for the bday wishes yesterday~! I had a good day but DH felt bad and spilled the beans that he is having a bday party for me today. haha~! I think he knew that I was catching on when it was 7 in the evening and I hadn't seen a cake yet!
Cheryl** How is your weekend going?
Good Morning to Trish, Kristine and Amy!!!!
Hope I didn't miss anyone. I will bbl with the stats for my run!
