PSA: Pedestrians Have The Right Away!
PSA (Public Service Announcement) Pedestrians still have the right away. Especially in a cross walk with a walk signal. I went out for an easy four miles today. I made it two, and was almost run over twice. After the second almost run over I called it quits. Decided I didn’t want to die today. Both times were in a cross walk with a walk signal, and the person turning made eye contact with me before I started to run, and then they gunned it to turn. It was truly unbelievable. The two miles I did run felt effortless and like I could run forever. That was encouraging. As the…

Treadmill Speed Workout
Another successful speed work! I originally planned to do 3×800 with 3 min walk/jog rest in between. I did it on the treadmill and definitely ran longer then 800m per interval. I ran at a certain pace until my watch went off. At the end my watch had me running 3.17 and the treadmill had me at 3.50. Next time I will follow the treadmill and just write down my times. I am trying to break away from needed the stats on my watch. It is a hard habit to break. It is part of the reason I switched from Garmin to Apple Watch. I wanted less emphasis on the stats…

Rest Day & Faster After Kids
Today was a rest day. My mind and body needed it. I haven’t slept great in the last few weeks. With the kids being sick, a few days of solo parenting and a little extra life stress my body needed it. I did take the kids on an extra slow three mile walk. The main reason for the walk was to get at least one of the kids a nap. It was mission accomplished! Tomorrow is a speed workout and I can’t wait! Faster AFTER Kids. Moms Are Superhuman. I honestly believe that my fastest times are ahead of me. I might have to move up in distance…from my 800…

Successful Long Run
Today was a successful long run! I woke up feeling sick. After the disappointment of last nights run I knew I wanted to at least get out for something. I decided I would run at least two miles out, if they felt bad I would call the run and walk home. When I got to the two mile mark I still felt good. I ran out to the three mile mark. At the turn around point I was still feeling good. I decided at that point that I wanted to finish even if it was slow. The final result was six miles, no walking breaks. The final two miles were…

Hard Easy Run
That was a very hard easy run. I opted for more sleep this morning instead of getting up for my long run. I decided last night that I would run on the treadmill after the kids went to bed. It would either be 30 easy minutes or a long run. Almost immediately I knew I would be doing 30 easy minutes. Operation Long Run Tomorrow Morning!
