finally i remember that feeling....
call it runners high or just call it feeling like my mind is clear. today, i felt it for the very first time in what must, at this point, be months. After last wks JPMCC I did feel great but did not have the clearness with which I'm currently blessed. And yes, it is a blessing. Life has been busy and tough, overwhleming and emotional lately.
Today's workout was:
mile 1 @ 11:45 0.5% grade
mile 1-1.5 @ 11:30 1% grade
mile 1.5-2 @ 11:00 1% grade
mile 3 @ 10:00 0.5% grade (the downgrade was an accident but oh well)
mile 3-3.75@ 10:00 0.5% grade
mile 3.75-4 @ 9:00 0.5% grade
mile 4-4.25 cooldown
Total time at 4 miles was 43:45

BUsy like a bee
This past week I ran 2x... Thurs in the JPMCC (3.5m) and then Saturday in the NYRR Dash 10k. My JPMCC results were good (by my stds) 35:30 for 3.5m... My 10k time was terribleish for a racing time at least at 1:10:42. 11:24 min miles. YIKES.
My back has been really sore in its usual spot. I haven't made it to yoga lately. I havent gotten massaged lately. I need to get on a schedule. I finally slept well last night and woke up today on my own at 6am. I shouldve gone for a run, but instead I enjoyed a quiet am at home and was at work at 745 which is what I like. I like the quiet here before everyone gets in.
Tonight I want to run a quick 2 miles and then do yoga at equinox at 715pm. That means I need to be at the gym by 645 and out the door at work by 615 at the latest. Doing it.
