Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

Today I had plans to run on the track, but at 6am  it was cold and wet, so I opted for the treadmill. After a 1.5 warmup,  I did an interval workout consisting of 1000, 800, 1000, 800, 1000, 800, 1000, 800 with a 400 jog inbetween each. Paces were- 6:11, 6:07, 6:03, 6:03, 6:00, 6:00, 5:52, 5:45. It was intresting again that the faster paces felt more comfortable. I should have started the pace around 6:00 and worked down. Next time. Overall workout felt good. 2.5 cool down for a total of 11 miles for the day.

Afterwards I went to the Podiatrist. He recommended custom orthotics. They cost $280! But the good thing is that they should last for about 5 years so that is worth the investment for me. After  wearing these puppies, I expect to be world class!:)

Today I met with my trainer who gave me a new workout routine. Most of the focus was on core and legs=1 hour of pain. Afterwards I did 25 minutes of intervals on the Arc Glider, a glorified elliptical.

This morning I had a 5k tempo planned but after a 3 mile warmup, my body would not go. Still sore from yesterday's workout and I didn't want to push it since I should be tapering now. So I ran to the gym and did 25 minutes on the ArcTrainer, then ran home. Pushed the pace a little on the way home to around 7 min pace. Altogether 6 mile run and 2 miles cross training.

What a fun run this morning! Met up with Kam and allie for a run up Muelller Park into North Fork for 13.5 miles. The fall colors were amazing! Great company, and muddy fun!
