Fuel SMART,Train HARD, Run FAST.

LOL. This morning was a joke for working out. I woke up to run outside before work, but thought I would run on my treadmill and watch a show instead. That was a mistake. I ran/walked 2.5 miles then got bored. Then did some crunches and pushups and high knees on the mini tramp for 50 mins total. Nothing taxing, I was too enthralled with the show. I'm sure my HR was below 140 bpm:) Intervals tomorrow.

I need do better on my diet, I think it is making me feel sluggish during my workouts. That is a no brainer though. Today I went to the gym and did a warm-up followed by 10x400 all at 6:00 pace with a 200 jog in between. These were not too hard, just felt sluggish. I felt like I should have done a few more, but decided not to after reading a few articles about  going to about 85% exhaustion and 100% for racing. I think  Ed Eyestone said that in an article and then there was an article in RW this month about that too- running at the pace you want to race and not much faster. I usually do intervals till I want to barf so today was refreshing. If I were more fit, I could have probably done more till I hit that 85-90%, but the good thing is that it true for where ever you are at. Right or wrong, I don't know. We'll see next week for the season opener 5k. Aside from theory, I wasn't in the mood either, so this was even more enticing to go with. I know one thing, I sure loved walking out of the gym refreshed for once.

9 slow, sick miles this am. Tummy was mad after 3 miles. Survived 9.

12 miles with Kam this morning. Lots of wind, but good day. Three more later on today for a small "running clinic" with some girls in Utah country who want some running feedback. That should be fun!
