Went to the Rec center because it was very cold and the roads are an absolute mess ran first did 2xmile then an 800 with 3 mins in between. 6:27, 6:20, not sure what the 800 was something around a 3:10.  This was not an all out effort and started slower to go faster each time.  My goal is to be able to do 7 of these on the treadmill with a 2 minute rest but I might die going crazy first so we will see.  Arms and body is so sore and tired from all the snow shoveling I did yesterday.  I really get into it.

Day off running because I couldn't bear going out in -2 (feels like -14 weather) what is up it's not Jan. yet?? and I wanted more sleep. 

I did a new HiiT workout as well as my Glute Max workout, a good one to continually do and make more challanging to build power in those glutes.

Friday fun day starting with Yoga with my mom, Spin with my prego spin teacher, and treadmill hill workout with the crabby old man next to me.  I would start on 0 incline and add .5 every minute to a 4 then back down to 0 taking off every minute and repeat at a faster pace.  I wish this cold would go away!

11.5 lonely slow slip n slide miles. Not as cold as it's been because the snow storm that came in, warmed the temps from single digits to 20. I actually was overderessed and got warm. But that felt good to be warm. Ran from my house to the canyon and long way back. Very slow due to road conditions. 

Need ideas for dinner, a week long menu of good healthy dinners posted on my blog

Did the 1st 4 at an 8 min pace then the next 4@a 7:17 pace felt fine

Our water heater exploded yesterday so I did not get a shower after my run:( gross I know. So today I went to the OFC to workout and shower after. My intention was to do spin but the spin bikes they have in the cardio area are pieces O crap so I did the treadmill. I felt good, did ladder workout of 5,4,3,2,1 minutes with one min in between started with 6:30 and went faster on each one on the minute I held a 6 pace then went to a 5;30 for 30 sec. Then I did 2 minute x4 @6:30 with one min in between. Warmup 2, CD 2. Then I got a shower:)
