What started out as a win
ended in a win as well, since I was able to run with the Moravian track team
for my workout. I was all set to do a six-mile progression on my own, but then I received a
text from Jesse that some requests were made for me to attend their
session. Fred had our kids in
check so I was able to go.
Workout:
5 mile warm-up for some extra distance and a two mile tempo run through a neighborhood {the same loop from this workout}.
Warm-up: The roads and sidewalks were still a little icy so we had to be careful. We ran about 5 1/4 miles in 43 minutes.
Once we arrived at the start, Jesse had us immediately begin our tempo run. {No resting allowed!}
First mile: 6:18
Second mile: 6:14 -- Total time: 12:32
Overall it was a good, solid workout and I got in about 8 1/2 miles of combined speed and distance.
Oh, and I forgot to tell
you….Tuesday I was able to hit Carrie’s yoga class which was MUCH needed.
It is so rare that I am able to attend a weeknight class due
to family duties and obligations but my calendar was free and I trekked across
town to do some downward-dogging.
Boy, oh boy did I pick a good class for me. Carrie’s routine focused mainly on hip openers, including
lots of pigeon pose and double pigeon.
It was just what I needed since my IT band/hip area gets awfully sore
from running.
