Now down to the single digit with the Paris Runcation, still so much to do even thou looks like I have been planning since December.
Saturday:
Got in 8 miles with Shelby at Egbert, somehow this felt very hard, I forgot my garmin haven't done that in a long time so went with Shelby's data, I try to stick with the goal of always finishing hard, it felt good push that pace for the last 800meters even thou we were very tired.
Got back home in time to bleach my hair and start cooking for our early Easter dinner with my sister and her family. It was always nice to see them and I love the baby, always amaze how many times he can call Auntie in an hour. We had a great dinner but I had to kick them out early so I can have a quick nap before heading to work at 8pm was suppose to be 7pm but they left around 545pm.
Working 8pm to 7am was interesting, hard just staying awake but we always have to be mentally alert since we are running chemical reactions it felt good to be back in the field, but once in a blue moon is good enough.
Sunday:
Got back home after the night shift, made breakfast for my son since he had to get on the bus back to college, I still continue to say this is the best $90 spent, got in there promptly, headed off to church after dropping him off for Palm Sunday service. Got into bed right after church for a 3hr power nap before heading out for some shopping and a visit to a field that lost his mother. Quickie easy stretch yoga that really doesn't count.
Monday:
Need the extra sleep so got up later than usual but was still able to get in Cathe Ripped with HIIT Plyo #2 + Bonus Abs #2, great way to start the week even thou it is still cold here. Come on SPRING.

Nothing says Spring Day in Ohio, like 21 degrees and snow, oh well.
Beautiful start to my day, despite Mother Nature little weather tantrum, I started off with Cathe Ripped with Hiit Chest Shoulder and Triceps, this is a great heavy weight workout with very minimal rest, I love the flow of it.
Afterwards was 10k easy miles, probably need to spend more time on the pavement but I am just not into the cold, hard to believe that the Paris Marathon is now 15 days away, still some final plans to make but the excitement id building and quite a bit of Facebook friends going.
Doing the Egbert route again tomorrow but starting early, since I plan to have Easter dinner tomorrow because my son will not be coming home and we will be on a plane to London but then somehow I have to work 7pm -7am to cover one of my operators shift since I am down 3 out of 4, doing to be a very long 48 hours.

Week 3/24/13 in Review
Last week was very busy since my scheduler was on vacation so I get to do my job and also his, oh what fun. I was able to keep up with my workout since I considered it especially needed to keep me sane.
My chase the train race was this past Saturday and I had a great time, and was impress that with the minimal running I am doing, my speed has really improved, well for me anyway.
The race was at 11am, so I decided to get in a 90mins ride, did Antelope from trainer road which is 5x10mins in sweet spot zone with 5 mins recovery, 22 miles later headed out for the run, I wanted to make sure I did this in under 80mins because the train back to my car leaves at 12:15 and 2:30 and I did not want to have to wait till 2:30 to get back to my car neither did I want to run back.
My legs were tired but felt fine, temps were perfect mid 40s, no snow, I had on tshirt/my bright blue nike just do it capri/arm warmers. Well, I decided to go for broke and see how my legs will respond, I wasn't going to beat the train since I have to run 7min/mile and that wasn't happening. We took off at 11:01 since I was in the 3rd wave for the 6.6miles run and everything came together, I felt great not even a twinge of pain, really wish all races/runs will be like this 9:46, 9:39, 9:28, 9:21,9:04, 9:09, 8:45 finish 93/250, this was capped at 250 due to us being on the towpath which already had lots of biking/running/walking traffic already.
Sunday drove down to Columbus to spend the day with my son, after church we went looking for a place to eat and after finding most brunch places sold out finally found a seat at a Hilton, was too hungry to argue about the $45 per person price tag, did eat my money's worth but the best part was the dessert table, when I went to look oh they were all so good, mentioned it to the lady keeping things filled, she proceeded to get a nice big oval place and cut me a piece of everything, it was like Christmas morning for a 5 year old and I was grinning like a fool anticipating the sugar rush, that plate alone was worth the $45, not sure what everything was even thou she told, everything melt in my mouth and was heavenly. This was my only meal for the day didn't want anything to spoil the taste in my mouth. I did do a quick 30mins cyclo HIT workout before we got on the way.
Spend Monday in Oxford OH, since we have narrowed the college down to 2, they had a special program for accepted kids so we went down to check things out, this was our first time at this college without snow, although we had flurries in the morning. Got in 15mins on a recumbent bike and a 4mins HITT workout using a app on my phone. Michael really like the school so this may be it, we check out choice #2 on the 13th.
Today did trainer road Carson and then Barry Bootcamp Nadia-treadmill section.
I really have to say I am enjoying the treadmill section from Barry's Bootcamp, they are all different but it does always involve incline and sprint. Longest so far has been 30mins, all include really high incline and fast sprint but somehow it seems doable not sure if it because of the normal clubbers in front of me doing it, they don't look like elite runners just like normal people trying to get in shape.
