Hey everybody!
I have the good luck of being in Arlington, VA, this weekend. This is lucky because it means I'm missing the Nor'easter that has turned Princeton into a snow globe.
I'm in Arlington for a conference on the Scottish Enlightenment. We're reading Hume and Adam Smith and drinking a lot of beer. Fun is being had by all. Plus, it gives me an excuse to dress up.
I don't have much time for this post, but all I really want to do is a workout wrap-up, so here goes...
Thursday's run:
Workout - 1 mile @ 8:00, 2 miles @ 6:50, 1 mile @ 8:00, 2 miles @ 6:50, 1 mile @ 8:00
Total distance - 7 miles
Total time - 52 minutes
This was by far the best speed work I've done in a long time. Granted, all the speed workouts I've been during are responsible for getting me in shape for this one, but I was really nervous at attempting this pace. I even wore my lucky shirt to get through it. Well, the stars aligned for me and I felt GREAT during this workout. I was even SMILING during it. Craziness.
And then I iced my MCL because, well, it's been swollen and sore. Yikes.
Today's run:
Distance - 8 miles
Time - 1:02
Hotel treadmill. Nothing exciting. This was definitely necessary for sweating out the beer, though. :)
Did any of you run any races this weekend? Awesome long runs? Gallops through the snow?

you are SPEEDY!!
ReplyDeleteI am stuck on the treadmill..a crap load of snow fell and I'm not battling that outside, haha!
Seriously, that was one wicked blizzard. I hope you and your family are okay!
DeleteYahoo for missing the snow!! Lucky gal! Great runs..on a treadmill!? Better you than me!
ReplyDeleteYeeeesss. All miles were treadmill miles. Boo.
DeleteGlad you missed the blizzard! I would take philosophy and beer over 40" of snow any day!! :)
ReplyDeleteExactly. You and I definitely have the same taste with that.
DeleteI'm glad you had fun in Arlington! That's my stomping ground! Great runs, you area total speed demon! I had a killer run on Saturday that was all negetative splits starting at 8:27 down to 7:15. I was totally stoked, I have never ran 4 sub 8 minute miles back to back, best part was it wasn't a planned run!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Megan! Next time I'm down there, we should go on a run or get coffee or something. I'd love to meet up!
DeleteI've been totally wussing out on the outdoor running and hitting the treadmill, but got in some quality workouts last week.
ReplyDeleteBut boy I would like some of your speed!
