Feb winding down

Beautiful morning for a run a bit windy and some icy patch, met up with Debra and did the run from CVS to Route 43, when we finished we were at 6.66 miles with the time at 6:16am decided it wasn't a good way to start the week so took it up to 7miles finishing at 6:20am yes am superstitious, no pint tempting faith.
I have really enjoyed doing finishers after a run, it is a great way to finish strong and add in a short strength workout, found this gem via Cosgrove email

Mike Whitfield 5x5 abs finisher
jump squats 5
spiderman pushups 5
lunge jumps 5 per side
cross body mountain climber 5 per side
24kg kettlebell swing - 5                           Repeat all 5 times

then added 100 jump rope to finish things off.

Made an appointment today to get my right ankle checked out of course the earliest I can get in is in April, I guess good thing it is not an emergency.

Back to a trusted friend- Treadmill

Today was suppose to be an outdoor run with  my training partner but she cancelled since her car passenger window won't come up and we are currently at 20 degees with some nasty wind. So it ended up being a treadmill day, and yesterday I was accused of being addicted to running by my husband, I guess in light of Whitney's death being addicted to fitness is really not a bad thing since there are a host of stuff I can go after the funny thing, my total mileage last week was 37 not sure what is going to happen if I ever go after the 70miles week. Oh well.

I started out with Rachel Cosgrove Warmup - 13mins, really nice circuit that loosen up the whole body, then got on the treadmill was really only going to do 5 then it became 6 and before I know it, I was at mile 8, but to be honest I was really just shooting for 6:30am when I had to check on my son then can change activity. For today's run was watching True Grit on Netflix.
I really want to stay with the BodyRock TV workout but they do not post the workout at a consistent time and I have goign to bed not knowing what the workout is going to be.
