So today was one of those gorgeous days that you just want to try and do everything especially if its doing it outside! Yesterday....not so much! It rained ALL day long! So I decided that the rain can rain and I can take my run inside to the TM. I decided that I wanted to try some running hill intervals then tried some faster speed intervals. I kinda liked doing this. I have had this TM for about 5 years and have never done any of the programs on it. Just did my thing. Wasn't a lot of speed hill work but it was 3 miles. Then I moved onto some hammies, tris, and abs.
Today I knew I wanted to get a longer run in even if it meant going super duper slow (which..it was). It was just me and my sweet girl and she was up for getting some Mama time with me but kinda frowned on the running part. So she decided to bike.
This is her and this is me pretty much at the beginning of the 5 miles.
The run was pretty good even though there were lots of people out today, it was pretty warm and the winds were craaaazy!! The first 2.5 miles were pretty good and only stopped a few times to answer text messages.....I know! That won't be happening anymore. Along the way my sweet girl and I talked and talked and then there were times that it was quiet but still felt right. We also saved a little life today too!! We came up to this little fella who was directly in the middle of the path and just knew if we didn't get him off there he would get ran over.
He was sooo little! This picture here was when we had about 1.5miles to go. I was pretty sore and had to walk a little here and there.
At one point I had asked her if she was sweating yet and she said no. I asked her then if I could bike while she ran and she very quickly informed me that yes her hands were sweating...lol!
All in all the run was good. It was warm, windy and pretty busy on the path. Even with the walk run on the way back I still just feel I need to be okay with it. My body will let me know when it's ready to push more. Its been there and knows.
Just another couple pics of my pansies that I planted...LAST YEAR!! All these that you see came back and look so good and I have done nothing!! Nothing at all. To see my flower beds you would have thought I spent a lot of time in them already this year. I have spent no time with the exception of weeding. Truly amazing!!
Also real quick what do you think of these?
These are my new Mizunos running shoes! Pretty cool huh?? Kinda makes me feel like Sarah over at SkinnyRunner! Of course I think hers were free but whatev! I seriously ordered these the day before she had posted that she had received hers and that she was going to run in them this weekend and Monday at Boston. Wonderful blog she has so check her out!!
Okay that is about it for today. I'm off to ice and take some strong meds. Tomorrow will be legs and a 5 mile walk with this little girl!!
