Morning 7 mile loop with 7 x 3:30 min pick ups, 90s recovery. Effort felt like an 8-9 but actual pace was very meh. Ran EZ in the pm last night at kiddos soccer practice, but thinking the gusty/rainy conditions made it tougher that I thought? With less than 12h between runs, I felt every mile today, pushed through but ugh!

Solid 8 miles on the treadmill because 20F with a brisk breeze in the dark is a no-go. Glad it’s Friday cause I also forgot my breakfast/lunch and was forced into the cold to get a plain bagel (the horror! My office is very anti-carb at the moment). I think, no, I’m sure there was some drooling in the office next to…

A little over 7 miles easy recovery run on my usual figure 8 “loop”. Absolutely perfect running weather, mid 40s, slightly overcast, no breeze and was treated to a gorgeous sunrise! A good start to the day.

Normal 7-miler route but with 7x3:30 min push intervals (roughly 1/2 mile). Beauty of a morning for a run! Happy Friday!

Boss’ birthday today with all the fixing (cake, etc.) Calorie budgeted my lunch to “afford” a small slice! It was delicious and I’ve stayed well within my daily goal.

Reminds me of the time I actually was pregnant, right around that in-between time at 5 mo. I had a male colleague wish me congratulations, but then added, “I was so glad to hear you were pregnant, I thought you had just let yourself go.” Remains to this day one of the strangest comments I’ve ever received. Anyway, OP, I…

Lovely 7.5 miles this morning, perfect weather at 35F, no breeze & got to watch the sunrise. Also randomly ended up catching up to a guy running about 25m ahead of me, we got to chatting. I had forgotten how enjoyable a run can be with other folks! Time to get back running with my group again.

Yes! I use this technique/gait alteration all the time, but especially on long runs (15-20milers) and/or going up long inclines. With each foot strike, I press slightly harder down on my heel to engage my glutes and hamstrings. It seems to alleviate the stress on fatigued quad muscles. My husband and I call it "butt-mode"!…

7.3 miles on the treadmill due to pouring rain, with 2 x 2 mile tempo and 1/2 mile recovery in between.

About 7.25 miles running, treadmill workout (because its pitch black, icy and foggy out at 6 am), but good nonetheless, included 2 super sets for about 4.5 miles of quality. Nice and EZ cool down, hot shower, good coffee and my office is deserted! Happy Friday!

Cold but beautiful morning for a 7+ mile run outside, with 7X3 min intervals at a hard pace, 90s slow jog recovery in between.

After a night off completely yesterday, hit cardio/strength circuits (x7) hard this morning for 65 mins total. Needed the day off and felt great this morning! Ugh, my tiny local gym was crowded at 6 am, the all the usual suspects plus a lot of new faces. Can't wait for it to begin getting a little brighter out in the AM so…

45 min tabata class at 5:30 am (oof!) followed by EZ 4 mile run.
