Holiday 4M

Ran the Holiday 4M this Saturday - and it was cold! Had a pretty good race - ran it in 35:28 for a pace of 8:52. Saw Ramon and a bunch of the coaches and TNTer's which is always nice!

Did some good cross training on Sunday and Monday, felt good. Can't go to Niketown tonight b/c I have a work thing today. But brought my stuff to go to the gym and do my own speed workout afterwards.

Disney is in less then 3 weeks!!!! I am so excited!

Its cold outside...

The weather has definitely turned cooler...which is making running slightly more difficult. Went running Tuesday night at Niketown - had a great run. Did a 3.5 mile tempo run and felt good with a comfortable pace of 8:50. Excellent.

Running the NYRR Holiday 4M tomorrow morning. Should be another cold one. Still taking it kinda easy tomorrow. Don't want to over push my body post Chicago/Philly. Last race of the year! Then a new racing season starts in January - already looking forward to it!

Last week

Last week I was not very good about my training, despite my best intentions. Lots of Holiday parties for work and it messed my schedule up. Went to the gym last night and had a solid cross-training workout: ellipitcal, arms, legs and stretching. Going to NIKEtown tonight to go running with the group.

First run since Chicago

Had my first run since Chicago last night. Went to the Niketown running group and did about 4 miles. Took it nice and easy, but it felt good to get back out there and run. My knees where a little stiff afterwards, but lots of stretching made them feel better. I'm doing a 15k this Saturday with NYRR in the park, so this run was definitely key.
