The Running Diva

No spinning this morning and since I had a voice lesson later in the day, I didn’t sing either. My lesson today didn’t go so hot. I had a rotten sleep last night so I was a bit fried.

Juice and I met IRR at the “Y” for a hill workout. There was a really great turn-out tonight including Shan!! LeRoo showed up to so I was her “mini-me” for the WO. Boob gave the group 6 long and 4 short hill repeats on Gonzales Rd with 100m strides in between each hill. Matty said I was to do 8-10 long hill repeats with the strides. It sure was nipply out tonight. It was another clear evening with a bright moon in the sky…brrrr! After some drills, off we went. I haven’t done hill repeats since last winter but I had no problem tonight putting in a good effort and did all 10. The repeats were  quick and strong and the strides felt perky too. I felt really good after the WO and was tempted to do a little extra on the cool-down but figured I should finish each WO this week and next feeling good. I am used to the higher mileage now so a 70 minute run feels like I’m slacking off. This is to be a moderate week, next week easy and then I think we’ll be cranking it up again after Nationals. We’ll have just 6 weeks after that before the Houston Half…man, time flies when you’re having fun!
