last half of the week runs - gerlinda
abby,
i gotta say...that workout you inflicted upon yourself sounds harder than most of my full-on boot camp days! i didn't mean you have to do EVERY exercise!! we usually on do three or four per day + jogging and usually some sprinting & hills, etc. i bet you were sore for your 8 miler!!
as for me: i ran my gruesome-schrmroosome 4.5er around grant park on friday (maybe i already told that part?)
the 8 miler...actually, that went well. i left from my house at about quarter till 7 yesterday morning and ran through cabbagetown, through old 4th ward, across ponce into whatever section of virgina highland-esque neighborhoodage that is - up charles allen - around the 10th st. / piedmont perimeter of piedmont park...and according to my internet sleuthing...that was supposed to be about 5+ miles or so, and then i ran around in the park, getting lost, until 1 1/2 hours had passed...which is just over an 11-min. mile pace, which is more or less what i've been running. i may have run more, or less than 8 miles - i really have no way of knowing. but i felt really good; maybe it was the fresh route; maybe it was the new music i put on my iPod. ??? i dunno. it was easier, mentally, than the 4.5er.
next week...9 miles...that feels REALLY far. hey Abby - i'm with you about bootcamp, though. it's a fantastic workout. i'm planning to do that on my crosstraining days as well. (either that or the bike.)
