On the road again...
Hi All ~ I am still around, just been busy lately! It seems pretty quiet around here! I am plugging away at Week 5 of OHR. Last night's 30 minute run turned into a 'fartlek' type of workout at the track. NOthing too formal, I just played with my speed a little, ran fast when I wanted to, recovered or even walked when I needed to. I included some bleacher runs too just to work my legs a bit. It was a great workout! After I ran the bleachers, I felt 'faster' when I returned to the track. Very cool. Now I 'get' what hill training is for. Today I will cross train with a long walk, and tomorrow's run will just be a regular old easy run for 34 minutes. And then the 'long run' on the weekend, 38 minutes...which will be a bit like my 5K race except I will be running easier! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know I'm still at it!
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.
