On Track Wednesday

Wednesdays are my Get Shit Done days.  As of late, they haven't gone as planned but today is looking good.  Although I did sleep in, I just got back from completing another run and swim AND I made some black bean hummus.  I fell like I have a lot of school work that I've been slacking off on.  I have a 15 page paper on patent litigation to write, a presentation on customer discrimination in the workplace, and I have to research federal energy policy related to the current Congress.  Ideally, I'd get a good jump start on all of these projects, but we'll see.  My goal is to get off the blog-o-sphere and keep the TV off.  I've already worked out for the day so that can't be an excuse. 

Flattering Photo of the Day:

Workout:
Run: 3 miles (Mile 1: 9:00  Miles 2 and 3: 400m intervals of 7:40 on and 9:30 off)
Swim (immediately after the run): 300yd warmup; 10x 50yd sprints with 10secs btwn; 200yd cooldown)  It's recovery week after all so my distances are low

Runner's high

Oh Hai there Crazies!

 I RAN YESTERDAY NIGHT!!!!   Yay.  I was even excited about running on the treadmill!  It was great!  It was fantastic and THAT is saying a lot because I HATE the dreadmill.  

I chose to run on the treadmill because it was 8:30pm at night and I needed to run on a softer surface.  The chip path at the high school would have been an option but it would have been a little spooky because it's not lit and it would have also been very very wet and muddy with all the rain/snow we've had.  it was also 37 degrees outside and super windy.    I kept my pace just over  a 9 min/mile.  It felt slow, but I didn't want to push anything.  I limited myself to 3 miles and felt good.  I was happy that I didn't feel like a pack-a-day smoker after not running for so long but at the same time this was only 3 miles, not 10.  Tonight I went to spin class and tomorrow I have a swim and another 3 miles treadmill jog in the planner.  I hope this stays good.  I iced last night and have kept massaging the shin. 

Fingers crossed.
