2012- Run 42 ~ 10K by gumushel at Garmin Connect - Details

Oh February! ugh
So, February is probably one of my biggest training months over the years. What better month to sweat off that Turkey and get things going? I know without checking back that I ran 200 Km last February and at least that many the year before. But, this February has been terrible. First, I overdid things with the 31 in 31 challenge. Then, I thought I did in my hip while demonstrating in PhysEd. The worst part of an injury in physEd would be the ability to swap the words "demonstrating" and "showing off". In any case, the injury wasn't as bad as I had originally thought and I think I'm sufficiently recovered form the 31in31.... So, it's back to the races. I've decided I will in fact register for New York nd things should get back to normal. Training for a marathon this summer will keep me out of trouble.

Two new things I've taken up just because I have no free time are curling and yoga. Monday nights I curl and Wednesday nights I'm doing a karma yoga class. These two things are cutting into my free time but maybe that's what I needed. I'm also shopping for some protein just to bulk up a bit! That ought to make me faster!

10K ....

ran a nice easy 10K tonight at the gym with the last 10 minutes a progression of faster speeds including a full 2 minutes at speed 10... that's some huffing and puffin

after 33 straight days, I took last Friday off, ran a lousy 5K indoor on Saturday, took Sunday off for the Superbowl and Monday for a Town Council Meeting on Trials. So, tonight's run started slowly but settled into a nice 5.5 pace and ramped it up to 6.0 -6.5 in the second half hour.

Felt great. Need to get outdoors before this next cold snap comes. A lot of running to get to 200 this month

Going to get myself registered for New York this week
