BRRRRRRRRR!

I hit the trails this morning with the though of getting 30 minutes of running in.  Good thing I was bundled up....it was chilly out there!!

I ran the first mile without stopping and then I did a run/walk for every tenth of a mile on the 2nd mile.  Guess which mile was faster?  The run/walk.  I run faster when I know I get a recovery break.  This is exactly what my book is all about that I'm reading.  Either way......straight running or walk/run.....I'm off the couch, moving and feeling good.  So I'm happy. 

Tonight I'm going out with some of my high school classmates......but I'm still hoping to run tomorrow.  My plan is to just have a "few" Bud Lights.......so we'll see how that goes.  Tomorrow's plan is 2.5 miles.....but increase speed.   Then next Sunday is 6.5 miles.  I feel like I'm on track with the training plan I'm following......which helps to keep me motivated.   

Starting this next week I'm going to alternate with the elliptical.  This time of year is SOOOO busy but I really need to work that into my week too.

Have a great weekend.  Go PACK!!! 

Stay warm and Happy Running!
