Tuesday Run #1/Weekend Follow-up (Noel)

IT's good to be back for Tuesday night clinics @ NSA!

Gross-but good nonetheless.

It isn't like i slacked during the break between clinics, but to do a tempo run and push myself harder again than my comfort zone was a nice shift.

For these clinics they end right before the Sun Run -which will be NOTHING compared to the distances i should be doing by then (with Chuckanut 50K on March 19th!) but i have never broken 40 mins (PB-41:17) - i want to break that milestone this year!

So after the weekends 2 runs i felt really good-which i'm happy about, although liberal use of SportShield has been needed on my heels (which were raw) to avoid full-on blisters!  Last night we went to the Mahon track and did 4 X 800 meters, with 2 minutes active rest (plank, lunges, squats, etc) between each set.  Our group, by the way, was HUGE! easily the largest group tonight- although some of the groups will likely be larger next week - there were a lot of people nervous about potential snow.

we got back to the store (and the heavily salted sidewalk), and did cool down drills before heading our seperate ways, and now i'm looking into Saturday's route (23K!) -should be fun!

There is a run tomorrow night at the store, but i'll be watching over the store, so i'll likely do a workout in the morning before classes (love Thursdays-no class until 3-4!).

That's it for now, though Emily and i will likely be registering for Fat Dog officially within the next week or so!!!
