"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."~ Goethe


EASY - LIGHT - SMOOTH = FAST

Workouts for the last two days:
Monday was pushing an OVERWEIGHT Hummer from Baldwin to Michelinda. I really think Eric needs to either 1) get a smaller car or 2) know that the idiot light means you need to stop at the gas station.

It really was a fun workout. Goofy but got the heart rate up enough to know I never want a Hummer.

Eric asked why 8 miles the next night (Tuesday). He thinks it's just junk miles. But it's not. At least not to me. 8 Miles is a hell of a long way and I need to know that I can get my legs to go that far. I'm masking this under a catagory of Tempo running.

Unfortunately I couldn't get them to go as fast as I wanted. I did a consistant 12mm pace, even though the first half was uphill. I thought I would gain time on the way back, but it was 48 min up and 48 min back. I tried some Fartleks the last mile but I just couldn't get my legs to go. So I walked, jogged, walked, jogged. In my mind I felt like I was doing Fartleks though.
