<p>Beginning of Half Marathon Training plan for me today.</p>
<p>10 min warm up,</p>
<p>12x(1/4 mile repeats in 1:30 or better on 1/4 mile easy recovery),</p>
<p>10 min cool down. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nailed all the repeats and total workout came out to 1:07:30 and 8.32 miles.  Had strength and core scheduled today, but didn't do it before the run as I got a late start.  Will probably do it later this afternoon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope everyone had a great Christmas, got all you wanted and were able to GIVE all you wanted too!</p>

<p>Ran 2.25 mi. Decided to make it "progressive tempo". Haven't done that in awhile. I know I'm not supposed to try to PR any distances this season, but...<br><br>
Also, got back to the house & noticed blood on my jacket. Turns out I snot rocketed a bloody nose on myself!</p>
<p>(it was pretty windy during one stretch)</p>

<p>Played 90 minutes of pond hockey this afternoon. I figure I skated at least a mile up and down the ice.  First time skating this season and I've discovered some new muscles.</p>

<p>Daily run. Back to work today. It was so busy it was almost like we were giving stuff away. Tired when I got home, but got the run in. I decided to run after work in hopes there would be a little less snow/ice and it would be warmer. Got it right.</p>

<p>Good stuff everyone! I mostly focused on sleeping in, napping, and doing stuff with the boys all day. I did manage to do my PT stuff and about 30min of core work.</p>

<p>Lots of good stuff going on here!  Yay everyone!</p>

<p>Catching up:</p>
<p>Friday: MRI  Hoping to get results today 12/27.  Hoped to get in something on the trainer but was consumed all day by cooking and prepping for Saturday.</p>
<p>Saturday:  4.4 ish mile run with Niece and Hubster.  Niece immediatelly napped on our couch for a few hours afterward since she is getting over her second bout of mono.  Poorr thing.  She certainly kept the conversation going for those miles though and I love her for it.  FIB  cooking and setting up and cleaning up.  Last guest left at midnight.  Awesome time had by all I am told.</p>
<p>Sunday:  Lots of running about to see both families.  Crashed on the couch watching Muppet Christmas Carol with the Hubster.  If eating were a workout I would have hit pro status today after teh last few days.</p>
<p>Monday:  Planned on running 6 to prep for Lowell 1st run 10k.  Got in exactly nothing but debris in my eye and choking on coffee.  Apparently I could not get myself together yesterday.  Dealt with issue on condo I am selling and that sucked up hours of my life I'm never getting back.  This thing better close tomorrow.</p>
<p>Tuesday:  Back at it.  Onthe trainer for 50 minutes this a.m.  with disk 2 season 3 of Burn Notice.  Now to get off those 10 pounds I need to lose before cruise in February.  Contemplating an elliptical mid-day just to get away from my desk and try to kick start the metabolism.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day Peeps!</p>
