Today it was sunny and about 80 degrees! I ran repeats at my local "torture hill". Ethel Avenue raises almost 1 quarter mile into the sky. When running Ethel, sometimes I get almost halfway up the hill and think "this isn't so bad", but I am only fooling myself. By the time I am 70% up, the constant incline has me fried. The last 30 seconds are always a struggle. But that is what makes it a challenge and certainly what makes me a stronger runner. I love to hate that hill.Repeats

This was my last key workout for the Peanut Butter Duathlon. I haven't done any fast running to try and stay injury free. Today was the closest I will come to speed work before the race. I have been playing it safe. A slow, inury free runner is always quicker than a fast, injured runner.
nice posts lately
ReplyDeleteHey there, it's me again, except this time I have a workout post!
ReplyDeleteRan 1 hour 50 minutes through the good 'ole streets of Iowa City. I figured it would be a good distance training run for the 1/2 marathon coming up in Rockford in a few weekends. Afterwards my legs felt a bit sore, so I did a lite workout on the elliptical (while studying) for 45 minutes to help loosen things out. It helped I think! Anyway, hope you and the fam are doing well :)
Good job, Krista! Can't wait to see how you do in the half marathon.
