Kickin’ my own tushy.
January 31st, 2008 by writeontherunI’d call my “tush” something else, but I have fears of my son saying “ass.” He already likes to say “oh my god.” Not good.
I’ve noticed that in the last couple of weeks, my weight has been creeping up to the top of my comfort zone. Now, I don’t have any strange delusions, I’m by no means overweight, but my pants are a touch tight and I can tell. “Hmmm…., I’ve been at the gym, I don’t get it.” Then I realized that I’ve gone from running 25 mile weeks to oh, say, 5 mile weeks. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist….also, it’s winter, so I think there’s a little bit of that hibernation thing going on. Anyway, to rectify the situation (and because I got to the gym too late for the bosu/cycle class) I ran intervals today. Yeah, running’s harder than anything else. Here’s the real breakdown:
1 mile at 9:30 pace
3 min at 16:00 pace, 10% grade
3 min at 9:10 pace
6 min at 16:00 pace, 10% grade
1.2 miles at 9:10 pace
2 min at 16:00 pace, 10% grade
2 min at 9:10 pace
2 min at 16:00 pace
Felt good, but tiring. Back to running outside on Sunday, unless it snows again….aiming for 5 miles (hear that Kim?)
