Heather hits the 8's!

Today I hit the 8 minute mark! Woo hoo! My plan of getting up before work is still not working well (ie at all) and I've been dealing with some nasty headaches. However I still want to try it. At some point.

Treadmill
2.56 K (1.59 miles)
-20 C (-4 F)
2 sets of 8 minutes followed by 1 minute walking; 2 minutes walking and 5 minute warm up and cool down
Felt ok actually. Considering I didn't eat so well yesterday and I haven't ran all week.

1 more set of 6's to do! Then it's up to 8 minutes! Wow.

Saturday February 14 - Happy Valentine's Day!

Ok I battled with the run today. I was going to get up and run before my hair appointment (bang trim - nothing major) but I was having such a good sleep with my snuggly cat (who rarely sleeps with me) I didn't. I dislike running in the afternoon because it wrecks my hair (not that I'm going anywhere - ha ha) and I hate being all sweaty and changing back into clothes instead of showering (and I refuse to shower again and have to redo my hair). See the dilemma? But since I didn't get up in time it was either skip the run or run in the afternoon. I decided to be good and run in the afternoon. ;)

I totally spaced on the distance so I have no idea. Probably 2.6? or 2.7? K
3 sets of running for 6 minutes and walking 1 minutes plus 5 minutes warm up and cool down
Felt sluggish. But I did it. :)

I was a good girl and ran after work today. YaY me! Also I needed the stress relief. Believe me.
Anyhow that's my last set of 5's. And I was cruising on this run. It felt fantastic. Which is kind of amazing because I didn't have a good sleep last night.
