Wow. Today I just feel sluggish. Work is SLOW. Nothing to do all day. Very boring and extreme worrisome, but there's nothing I can do about it. Not really.
I'm planning another 8 mile run tonight, the same route as last week. But the thing I have going with Carol, Jane & Kari where we journal ALL our food, our exercises, our alcoholic intake, etc has really made me accountable for certain things. This is the 3rd week in a row that I passed on the weekly donuts a rep brings in. OMG they looked so good this morning. Chocolate cake donuts with chocolate frosting. YUMMMMYYY. But I passed.
I'm rambling today. Hopefully my run tonight will be better than last week. My legs are still a bit sore from yesterday's squats. I did 30 at home and a total of 70 at BC. We're supposed to do 350 this week (see above). That's 250 more to go. What's my goal for a pace tonight? HMP + 20. That will be roughtly an 11 mm pace. Last week was a consistant 12 mm pace. I don't know if this is doable. But I'll try to at least have a better time than last week. Then when I get home, squats.
Wow-really don't want to be here today. Can't get out of the funk. Hopefully tonight will put me in a better place.

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.
