Lunch Run!

1.5 miles without stopping at a 10min mile pace

it was on a treadmill cause i don’t like running in the rain. However this treadmill kinda sucked and seemed harder on my ankles than road running. Next time I may consider just running in the rain. Course, if I slip and fall like I’m worried about, I’ll go back to running on a treadmill if it’s wet outside

Indy Mini WD4 - TEMPO 3

Did this run during lunch since I knew I had a happy hour to go to after work, and it’s too dark to run outside in the morning still. I wasn’t sure how it was going to go since it was kind of a weird time to do it, but turns out it went great!! And I ran outside and the weather was great! Around 30, but very slight wind, kept me cool and comfy :)

I started with my warmup mile, did some drills, and then got to work. I was surprised how much better this pace felt this week. I made sure to watch it though and not start too fast. When I saw my first mile split I knew I was right on the money, so all I had to do was maintain for 2 more miles.

I got tired in the third tempo mile, but I just told myself to keep going. I wanted to stop, but I didn’t! I just kept pushing and stayed with it, and soon enough I was done!! I am VERY happy with how this run went. Couldn’t have gone any more perfect :)

After work I was able to enjoy my beer with friends knowing the hard run was over. Happy Friday eve!! Can’t wait for the weekend!

Chicago W2D2 - easy 2 Forgot to post this yesterday! A few of my friends from work are waning to start to run and asked me to join them. Of course!!! I figured since it was just an easy 2, if I took it really easy, it's not big deal. We ran this during lunch and it's the perfect break to get out of the office. We did a run/walk. Someone would pick a point, we would run to it, and then walk until they felt ready again. I was so happy to join them! They did great! :) Today is a rest day, so I plan to lay low! My knee is feeling a bit tired, probably from my recent increase in activity, so a rest day today is perfect! Hope your weeks are going good! :)
