Felt a little like this guy this morning.
Half-training Wk3R3; 3.02 in 33:28 - 9:38, 11:40, 12:02
Did some speedwork intervals and was fairly surprised about how fast that first mile was! See, this is another reason why I like outdoors way more than treadmill. Outside, I can just go by how I’m feeling and listen to my body. On a ‘mill, I think “Well, I can’t go faster than an 11:00 mile, so that’s what I’ll set it at.”
The legs earned their rest tomorrow. :)
Half-marathon training, Wk3R1 3.04 - 37:32 @ 12:40, 12:31, 12:01
The best part was the pre-run thought process:It’s too cold. I’m too tired. GID might hit. My right hamstring has been hurting lately. I might be late for work. I’m not recovered enough from Saturday’s long run.
………What’s that? All out of excuses? Ok, let’s go for a run. Hee hee….
Also, last pic of the Mountain Man look…it all comes off today.

First of all, if you want to see some ridiculousness, go check out the scavenger hunt forum and just click through some pictures to see more where this came from:
Didn’t win, but made the “cover”! :)
Here’s this week’s Sunday Snapshot. I’m doing a different face each week, based on your suggestions. This week: mad face. >:-|
I know that I’ve been concentrating on my form a lot when I see this little vid and can’t help but fret that I’m seeing too much heel strike. =P

Worth the Pain
Half-Marathon Training Week 2 - Run 4
5.0 miles - 1:00:35 / 12:07 pace
Splits: 12:48; 12:34; 11:52; 12:08; 11:43
The run itself went quite well. I was really enjoying mile 3…it seemed so easy and fast somehow. The last mile was a little quicker, mainly motivated by desperation to finish as soon as possible.
Towards the end, the ol’ gut started getting uncomfortable. I was able to finish strong, but as soon as I sat down in the car, I was miserable. The ride home was unpleasant, and when I had parked in my spot at home, I waited 5-10 minutes to get out because I couldn’t bear the thought of moving. Even as I type this - almost a full hour post-run - I’m still really hurting. I’m hoping that I can try going to bed soon, cuz I’m tired.
Regardless of the pain, I’m glad I did the run. It’s officially my longest distance in 2012, and a really good pace, given the distance. It’s weird, but I so look forward to long run days…it’s kind of the highlight of my week! :)
My first time ever NOT getting a quesadilla at Qdoba.
