1. I flew back Tuesday night, but had Wednesday off work. With my day off I was super productive. Ran 11 miles (8 in the morning and 3 in the evening), cut the grass, did some yard work, and finally went to the bank to open my Roth IRA!! Bout time! Also went grocery shopping and cooked/prepared some meals. Talk about productivity.
2. Last night’s workout consisted of intervals. 4 miles in total. I did 10 loops around a block in my neighborhood. And the last part of the loop has a slight incline which makes it a bit harder (obviously). Total time was 29:33, which is a 7:23 pace. I wanted to be under 30 min (7:30 pace). That is where I want to get my 5K times.
3. Volleyball last night was fun. I HATE having the late game (starts at 9:35), but at least I was able to get stuff done before volleyball. Everyone played pretty well and got along. I did stay out there and talk to people making my spin class this morning a bit rough. 5:45 AM class again.
4. With only working two days this week, the weekend flew up on me. I actually have the next two weekends free. No plans – no racing, no volleyball tournaments. I am skipping the Corona tournament because I will be doing some distance runs, just nothing official. Hoping to get some long runs in, some pool time, and some yard work. I am determined to get this yard looking better. It is a slow process and I am not a patient person.
5. I found another new quote I love. ‘I need to measure my progress only against myself. Not others.’ I used to be super competitive and had to win and was used to winning against others. With running, you are competing with others in a way, but it is really you vs you vs the clock.
