I've been remarkably disciplined this first week of training! I didn't miss one workout. Usually I am easily convinced to go to happy hour or to dinner instead of slogging out a run on the treadmill, but I have done all workouts, including cross-training and I "stretched and strengthened" as Hal Higdon instructed me to do on Monday. I generally read things like that as "rest, " so this is quite a feat.
All I have left on tap this week is a cross training session, which I am doing after work today, and a 4-miler with a group on Sunday. It's going to be bitterly cold--the high is something insane like 22 degrees and the low is 7. I plan to motivate myself with bar food and beer during the Steelers/Jets game that evening. Have I mentioned my fiance is a Jets fan? It's a tense household. I also pointed out that one of our cats is black and gold so we've outnumbered him as fans.
How cute is Koi? OK so technically she's more orange than gold, but use your imagination.
She's brown! And given that she's loud-mouthed and overweight, she's much more likely to be a Jets fan!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you run in that cold. I've been lazy most of the week because it's been in the low 40s here. I know, I know...I'm terrible. I'm so running tonight, though...and it will be 30, so that will show me.
