It's that time of year. Race season has begun! I would like to run a race every month from April to December. Right now I am in full training mode for a race I will be running at the end of April, the Illinois 10k. It's fun knowing that all these miles I'm pounding out are actually important and not just so I can eat junk. But, it also sucks because now I have to do speed work!! This week I did 5x800 at a 7:00 pace with 2 minutes rest in between. However, because I can't count, I did six!! Here I am doing a photo shoot during one of my rest periods :) I think this picture makes me look old. And by old, I mean I look my age :(

I had a good workout plan in my mind, and I was going to break 23 minutes!! I was so determined! Well, I thought I was so determined. But, I guess I wasn't that determined because things fell apart pretty quick. There was vacation, and then our cruise, and then traveling up to Illinois. And although I could have run during all these events, well, I didn't. OOPS!! Fisher Fair 5k I ran this race with my brother, and this was his first race in 20 years!! It was really cool to run it with him, and to see him get back into running. I actually only ran "with him" for about 7 steps, and then he took off. Mile 1 -7:34 Yeah, way too fast. I'm actually pretty good a...
Don't worry you don't look ^%&*&%. Haha, I would never put your real age on here!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you look better than 99.9% of the population if they were in the middle of intervals.
