Lifetime Fitness Reindeer Run
December 8th, 2007
Weather report: 38 degrees, overcast, high chance of rain. Goals:
- Run the entire way.
- Start slow.
- Do worse than the previous 26:29.
I think that’ll work for me tomorrow. I’ve mananged to sustain 20 minutes at 8 min/mile on the treadmill, and while I certainly felt it, I know I could have kept it for another 4, so that’s all good. The goal with this race first and foremost is to go all the way through, no stopping. Everything else is secondary, but if I can manage this thing called “reverse splits” (running each mile faster than the previous one) then I’d be super stoked. In other news, I’ve added 15-20 minutes of ellipticals after my normal half hour run every day. This is to get my heart and metabolism slowly used to the idea of keeping it up for more than 30 minutes, in preparation for starting 10K training. Also, having an XBox is really really bad for my exercise schedule. I’m like: Well, it’s 530AM, I don’t have to be at the gym for another hour, why don’t I play a little! (Two hours later) Well then, I guess I’m running at lunch. (lunchtime) ZOMGEMERGENCY have to eat at my desk. (after work) I’m bushed. Have to go run. Doh.
