<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am up bright and early working at home rather than running.  I have my first interval workout and decided to wait until the sun rises to hit the streets since it is still pretty icy out there.  I just really didn't want to have to attempt .5 mile repeats on the treadmill if possible.  Hopefully the temps will be bearable in an hour or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that, it should be a relatively uneventful day for me today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TTYL.</p>

<p>morning everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>we had the time trial last night.  Since 1 lap is 0.38 miles, the whole 1 mile, 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile doesn't work out the best so we did 3, 2, 1 laps.  Per normal, the speed kills my lungs and I ended up coughing all darn night long.  However, I did better than I have before on the time trial so I am happy with that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lap 1: 2:44</p>
<p>Lap 2: 2:47</p>
<p>Lap 3: 2:41</p>
<p> </p>
<p>so that works out to be about a 7:11 mile - a little better than prior mile attempts in race situations (i hate miles)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interval 2:</p>
<p>Lap 1: 2:36</p>
<p>Lap 2: 2:41</p>
<p>6:57 pace overall</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interval 3:</p>
<p>2:32 - 6:40 pace</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So i'll take it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>some general aerobic miles - supposed to be above freezing today!  I am also going to pick up Your Fitness Evolved for the Kinect today :)</p>

<p>QOD: Oh I don't know - windchill or air temp?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Windchill - probably - 50 or so</p>
<p> </p>
<p>air temp - -20 perhaps</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Mindi</strong> - that is so cute it isn't real looking. I want one :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, <strong>Cindi</strong> did AWESOME.  Conditions were not good either and the race set up stupid (or so I hear...I was in bed sleeping off those rice krispy bars)</p>

<p>Hi maria!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

mom is ok.  When I was home for xmas, she had to get 2 units of blood due to low counts before her chemo last week. She also met with her dr and it pretty much sounds like chemo will be a routine thing for her for the rest of her life as the cancer she has is likely to come back w/o ongoing treatment.  In addition, she'll be having a brain MRI soon as she has had some walking issues (she goes to the left) since her radiation treatment last year.  sigh</p>

<p><strong>Me - </strong>I am STARVING today and feel like I could gnaw my arm off.  Danggit.  I know it happens when I start upping the training, but I need to drop some tonnage, which means NOT eating more.  Grrrrrr.</p>
