Miles to Health

Tempo Run

Today was a 3 mile tempo run, I was suppose to do the 3 miles at 6.1mph at 1% incline but my left knee was hurting so I changed it to 3x1200 meters at 6.1mph and then 3x400 meters at 4.0 mph just to give it a rest. I added 15 mins of yoga, am hoping I can keep up with my yoga practice I really miss it.

One of the ladies at my group check-in at videofitness asked the question about thinking I was just a recreationa/fitness runner but I seem to be entering more and more races and now thinking of trail ultra.

My reply to her below:
I have always love running, did all my runs on the treadmill this was my
first year running outside my house, and I find that I love it, I am incredible
slow, for the life of me can't understand how my legs can go any faster but I
keep trying. Running is a whole new world to me, I go walking or running when I
am waiting for my son to finish football practice, I take them to Border's and
go running at the near by National Park (never even knew it was there) or they
bike while I run. Turning 40 this year an alarm went off that said I need to
start doing for me and somewhere in my description of wife, mother, daugther,
employee, Engineer .... there should also be Elizabeth and she love to
run. :love:
My family also believe am going through a phase, I don't know how long this will last but for now, I am enjoying it and my husband is slowly getting back to running at least he has consistently run 5 days a week now for 7 weeks, more for health reasons but he is doing it.

Mailing out my race form for the Winter Buckeye Trail Fun Run 50K today and I found a couple of training plans online.
