Hurray hurray, we ran today!
We are back in the hilliest of neighborhoods! Running here is fun but hard. Today we did a shortish 4.55 km around a well-loved route. It was cool but sunny and very damp. The damp makes me feel COLD till I have been running for a few minutes.
We did 10/1 run/walk intervals today. The walk break normally does make me feel like I can kick up the running speed a bit... but today the lower calf muscle in my right leg was cramping almost from the beginning. I think it did slow me down but I tried to ignore it causes I was just so happy to be RUNNING!
W3 R35 @10/1 W4
stretch 5 minutes
When we came inside I made us the most delicious smoothies... banana, unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, ground flax seeds and cinnamon. Mmmmmm.
So the week is off to a great start!
Yah for running and that smoothie sure does sound good!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Elle! :) I hope you have a fantastic week!!
ReplyDeleteNice run, Elle!
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you. As you know, I have been doing run-walk intervals by miles. How do you determine how to do them by time? Is there a time I should start with to see how it goes?
Thanks! You are always an inspiration to me and you get me thinking! :)
Awesome run and that smoothie sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteDamp definitely does add to the cold. I get warmer, and then some parts of me cool back down if I run for more than 20mins.
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie sounds yum :)
