After some very heavy rain storms this morning the sky cleared and the sun came out. There was a slight breeze and it seemed like the perfect day to run outside. I had 5 miles on the schedule but ended with 6.22 on the Garmin. It just was so nice out that I wanted to keep going.
Jenny called this morning. Her family had done a 5K and she had come in first in the women's with a PR of 23:10. Way to go. Then she asked me if I had gone out yet. The answer was no, not yet. It was looking like rain here and I was trying to decide if I should go to the gym or go outside or not go at all. She won't let you skip. To cinch the deal she even shamed me by reminding me that my grandsons had run this morning and if they could do it I could. OKAY, I'll go.
Yes it was another Friday at the gym. Core was on the schedule and Katie managed to see that I got a good work out. No new exercise but hard enough to know I was working those abs. After 30 minutes of floor work I went upstairs and did the Elliptical for 30 minutes instead of quickly heading out of the gym.
One of the nice things about running outside is that you get to see a lot of things. Many times on my runs I have seen my favorite, the road runner, Today was a real surprise when a blue bird flew across the trail. It's nice to see they are back!
Yikes ! I had to train to day. I wasn't thinking it would be legs but it was. My gosh Katie knows how to work them. Not only did I train for 30 minutes I also had to get a run in today. I'm following a schedule from smart coach for a 5K training program.
After not running since the ING ( that's 3 weeks) I finally got my shoes on and did 4 miles today. I can tell that I had time off, a little slower but at least I did it ! It was a gorgeous day to be out. The sun was shinning and there was a good wind blowing and I was out there. I ran past Kids Kastle until I hit 2 miles on my Garmin and then turned and headed for home.
