Back at it with the start of a new week!
The weekend was busy with lots of catching up – and visiting my favorite apple and squash farmers!
Rain was the theme of the weekend.
Exhibit A:
Sequestered together to dry off after a walk.
Desperate times call for sharing the dog bed.
I needed to get out and get moving this morning but a run outdoors was not in the cards. I was happy that I didn’t sign up for a 10K that was taking place in the area today. That would have meant very squishy running shoes.
I headed to an indoor track and did this workout:
My splits ended up being 8:12, 8:04, 7:59. My goal for the workout was to make sure each mile was faster than the last. I did take a recovery lap in between miles – walking at a fast pace to keep my heart rate up. By the end of the 3rd mile, I did feel like my heart and lungs were about to burst out of my chest…maybe I’m being a little dramatic.
I’m excited to share with everyone that I’m featured on Healthypage. There are a lot of fun resources on the site.
What were your weekend workouts?
Apples and Arteries 
nice job on the run!!! You were flying! I like the idea of trying to make each mile faster than the first! I’ll have to try that to switch up one of my training runs this week 🙂
Thanks. I’m so competitive that I had to try and do something to push myself.
Whooaa that is some amazingly fast running! I don’t think I’ve broken an 8-minute mile since high school track. I did a treadmill workout yesterday that totally kicked my butt. You do 1 minute at 5.0, and increase it by 0.5 every minute until you hit 8.0. Then you kick it back down to 4.0 for two minutes, and repeat 5x. I could only finish three sets! I was dying.
haha how funny, i hope they don’t mind sharing the bed. nice job on the run!
I love this interval. I think I’m going to do this tonight if it stays gross out 😦 Also, obsessed with your pups!
Let me know if you did the workout. I’m always happy to feature Tucker and Kostas!
what a great run! You have some awesome splits. It is always hard to get gradually faster sometimes! I never heard of healthypage I’ll have to check it out!
Thank you.
Congrats! I’m gonna head over there now and check it out..
Thanks!
Great interview on HealthyPage!!
Thank you!
Good job on the run! I love the picture!
Thank you–very happy to have access to a nice, indoor track.
WOW! Amazing run!! I red your interview on HealthyPage too. Never knew of anyone who’s been blessed with having no sweet tooth..until now. Must be nice 😀
Thank you–I know, it’s crazy. I love to bake for others but just don’t crave chocolate or sweets. Haven’t had a cavity in ages 🙂
Way to go running in the rain… I have a REALLY hard time working up the motivation to do that!
Urgh, we’ve had so much rain here too; and gales as I write this too, which is even better! It’s good you can go to an indoor track, must be much better than a treadmill.
We actually had some dry weather this weekend so I was out on my bike a lot and riding my horse; that might not sound much but I’ve been working so hard in my riding lessons, my legs feel like string!
