5 day forecast

Today: Yoga at work then Body Pump and CRX this evening

Tomorrow: Pilates/Barre Fusion class at work //Cornhole League after work

Wednesday: 7 miles (mix treadmill and outside?) and RPM class both afterwork

Thursday: 8 miles before work (mix of treadmill and outside) and yoga at work // Kathy Griffin show on campus after work

Weekend: if I can t both of these runs in then I only need to do 9 miles this weekend. Weather this whole week sucks – I’m either going to be freezing or on a treadmill DOUBLE yuck! 

DUB-ble digits

Tomorrow will be my first double digit run since the Dublin Marathon. 

10 miles! 

I forgot how much I enjoy running in the winter (sans snow). My pace has been great. Last night I knocked out 6 miles with an 11:13 min/mi average pace (2 of those miles were 10:30s).

Getting stoked for my ½ in March and I’m even thinking about the Brooklyn Half in May…

Ragnot

I was supposed to be in Miami today for Ragnar Florida Keys which was supposed to start tomorrow morning. Still super bummed it was cancelled (and all the surrounding drama). Even more bummed that I didn’t get quality van time with @94monkeys!

Butt Hurt

My tush hurts from RPM last night despite wearing my ancient padded bike shorts. However it was great to be back on a bike and little booty pain never killed anyone. 

Yoga will be a nice relief at lunch today. 

Feeling the beat

Made it to my first RPM (spin) class in AAAAGES. Even when I was a Golds member in 2012-2014 I wasn’t going much to RPM. The last year I lived in Alabama I was obsessed with RPM, well really the instructor Mitch (who I still adore). It was my go to cross training while marathon training for LA. I’ve struggled with finding good instructors or good fits for me. Tonight I made it to my old Golds location by work and really liked the instructor. I’m hoping to get to class the next few weeks while my Wednesdays are open.

Snowercise

After a cold and my cortisone shot that derailed exercise MLK weekend I was determined to not let snow derail me further. Let’s recap:

Thurs 1/21: yoga at work and 7 miles on the treadmill

Fri 1/22: 4 miles outside pre-snow

Sat 1/23: climbed the stairwells on T’s 15 story building for 45 minutes then did laps in his hallway for another 45 minutes. Aka over 75 flights and 10K steps

Sun 1/24: mixed up stairwells and hallways for 1.5 hours for another 75 flights and 10K steps (every time I reached T’s floor I’d walk the hallway)

Mon 1/25: my hamstrings were tight so I walked up a flight then walked the hall up and down the building for an hour. Then I did flow (yoga) and hard core abs Pump DVDs (T even some some hard core abs with me).

Tues 1/26: went to the gym for 6 treadmill miles.

Now I’m in Massachusetts for 1.5 days. Plan to knock out 9 miles today!
