What a difference a good sleep and perfect frame of mind makes, I woke
up this morning feeling like a million $, who else to spend the day with
but Cathe Xtrain doing Cardio Leg Blast , in order to maintain my
million $ feeling I did a premix Routine 1-6 instead of the whole 13 + core then off for some Sufferfest, Brain Training For Runners called for mixed intervals but am at the I got to have
fun to continue training phase which translate to spending time in
Sufferlandria, did Steamroller which is 13 intervals at various time,
pace and recovery time, longest was 4 mins and shortest 10secs with
recovery time going from 1:45 to 30secs, pacing going from agony (10mph)
to HM pace 6.9mph. For some recovery was so short my treadmill didn't
even get to the recovery pace before I had to go back up. It felt good and I love watching Mo Farah run, so graceful.
After work was 6 miles with Shelby at the Meadow loop, nothing spectacular we were slower than normal but we got it done and one more in the books.
Life is good, waking up feeling like a million $-priceless

Memorial day weekend was a complete blur, so grateful for those who gave their life in service to our country.
Saturday, met up with Shelby and we tackle the Valley loop and lock 29 to get in 10 miles but we did end up going almost 11 miles, Shelby did a good job keeping us on pace, we stayed at the low end with the hope of moving up with each run. Lock 29 as usual was crowded with cyclist, families, walkers and runners.
After the run and some errands, off to a friend's son's graduation party, had a great time there and I had a great conversion with a lady about being an empty nester. I find it interesting that couples that currently do not spend time together think there is a magic moment fairy godmother once the kids leaves home.
Sunday before church got in Pretty Fierce Lean Out Outdoor Workout, find it interesting that she calls this an outdoor workout but the whole thing is filmed indoors, great workout did one round for 20 mins. After church finish getting the kids packed then off to Oxford to drop him off, spending the night since we can 't get the apartment key until Monday morning.
Monday: The Hampton has a nice elliptical so I decided to use it instead of an easy run, this made doing an iClimb with Keith so much fun, was shooting for 30mins but do to excess fun ended up with 47mins had to stop due to time. After shower and breakfast, headed off to the apartment to pickup key and move in, then trip to Dillards out, IKEA, Walmart and they finish move in and cleanup, we finally left around 7pm getting home close to midnight.
Tuesday very tired but made it out of bed to get in a workout, warmup with Drop 2 Sizes Phase 2 RAMP then time to suffer using Sufferfest Steamroller, this seriously kick my butt but it felt great, a real shock to my system, rest are incredibly short for the pace I was running, had to push and focus to get this done. I love watch Mo Farah run, such grace and he doesn't look like he is working hard.
After work got in 6 miles in Shelby, this was hard, still quite tired but it felt good to run and challenge the body a bit.

Monday: Had a rough night so woke up late and was only able to get in a nice easy 7 miles run while watching my latest Korean music, lots of walking ans stair climbing at work and I also got in 2 miles with my girls from Girls on the Run, we are getting close to our 5k and they are not quite ready. After work while waiting for dinner to finish baking, I got in UFIT Upper Body Bliss, short to the point strength workout with cardio burst thrown in to keep the heart rate up.
Tuesday: Drop 2 Sizes (D2S) P1 RAMP Warmup + Strength 1, I only did 20 mins of strength 1 since I needed time to finish my running workout . Today was Sufferfest Treadmill Workout Steamroller, this was my first time doing this and I enjoyed and was drenched in sweat when done, I varied my interval pace from 6.0-10.0, I did feel 6.0 easy half through so increased to 6.2, finding the right pace was tricky, had to be careful because for some the recovery were short at only 30sec, treadmill wasn't even down to recovery pace before it was time to start rolling into it for the next one.
After work got in 5 miles with Shelby around the city of Hudson, it so dark already at 545pm when we started, we needed our headlamps. I need to buy a brighter one, my current one is just not bright enough if I intend to continue running outdoors in the winter.
Seem to have pulled my left calf muscle yesterday while observing the reactor transfer at work, wore my compression sleeves all day at work and did some icing, wasn't too bad while running, I need to keep a eye on it so it doesn't get any wore or turn into something else.
