All Fired Up!

After my rest day yesterday, I figured I'd be all fired up to run intervals at 5:00 this morning. Well, I was sadly mistaken. I promptly turned that alarm off and went back to sleep for an hour. Started the day with shoulder PT instead. That is going well and we decided to cancel my shot for next Monday, which I am very happy about.

But all this means I had to run later in the day. Not my specialty. Finally got it in around 6:00 which kept poor Natasha from eating dinner until 7:00. Ran hard. Found out why the purple shirt was only $8.00 at JCPenney's...it simply did not breathe at all. I thought I would pass out. Or get sick. Or both.

I like the treadmill sometimes. Most people hate it. Many of my dear friends do vehemently. But for me, it serves a purpose. It keeps me at a steady pace. When I am running on the track or the street, I lose my focus and I naturally slow down. The mill forces me to keep pushing. Did my best time for 3 miles in a workout tonight. Nice. Another 8 seconds and I will reach a new milestone.

The time is coming down quickly right now. For years I was at the same place. Now, I've taken over a minute off of where I was in just a couple of months. This is a great feeling. I'm all fired up now and actually looking forward to what I can do on Sunday in Sunken Meadow. I've never run that course, and I know it has hills. But for a pleasant change, I'm not all worried about them. I think the interval training is making a big difference. Bring it!!
