Friday and the BRW that didn't happen.

Posted on Saturday, March 2, 2013

Training can be frustrating. Well, training can be frustrating for me. Thursday was a run/swim day that was thwarted by a puking 10 year old... I should also mention an 8p.m. revelation that due to said puke someone failed to mention needing a Dr. Seuss hat for Friday.  I still managed to rise from the comfy confines of my sheets and make to the trainer on Friday morning, 5 a.m sharp. Only to once again be interrupted by the highest power, WORK, 45 minutes later. In my effort to be flexible I decided to scrap the 45 min and do the BRW that I missed Thursday after work. As the day progressed and my work day got longer and longer I realized that I would only have about 90 min before my oldest would need a ride from track practice... So whats a girl to do? INTERVALS!!!! With the littlest peep home from school -yes he finally stopped puking- I pulled out the trainer, 60/spinerval hill climbs and then the dreadmill. I hate the dreadmill; However, it keeps me honest and it goes a little something like this.
6.7 @ 5 warm up
7.2 @ 1
7.5 @ 1
8.0 @ 2
8.5 @ 1
7.5 @ 1
8.0 @ 1
8.5 @ 2
9.0 @ 1
8.5 @ 1
8.0 @ 1
9.0 @ 2
9.5 @ 1
9.0 @ 1
8.5 @ 1
8.0 @ 3
8.7 @ 5
8.0 @ 5 Cool Down

The intervals made the dreadmill quite tolerable and a much less monotonous. 

Not the work out I planned, but still a workout.
We even had time to stop by Run with It.

 In our world new running shoes trump Manolo Blahnik. Not to mention while there I signed up for weekly mud run training group sponsored by Run with It and 360 sports. Even better I found out the Newton rep will be there for fittings this weekend. Momma needs a new pair of shoes!
