MARCH 11th: 4 mi run on the 'mill (44:25)....*4 sets of push ups (30-25-25-25)
....'Twas a great run! I kept it nice and slow as my legs are still a bit sore from the 15 miles I ran on Saturday. I WAS able to run in my new 2009s using the callus protectors on my foot bone and it was awesome. Pain free the whole time!
Started at 5.0mph and upped the pace every 5 minutes then came down the last .3 miles. Did the first 2 miles at 2% incline and the last 2 miles at 1%. I am SO thankful that I have a treadmill here to run on when the weather isnt fitting for any outdoor run (at least not for a clutz like me!). We got 7-10" of snow on Sunday and Sunday night. The winds were CRAZY all day Sunday. Made me SUPER thankful I got my 15 miles in on Saturday!

I printed this chart out of my training plan when I first started. I enjoy crossing the days off as I complete them. I cant believe I'll be running 26.2 in just 55 days!!


Here's my personal calendar where I track all my workouts. I've been doing this since the beginning of 2011. These calendar 'notebooks' are just $1 in Target's Dollar Spot section!


Happy Monday, everyone!
