I was looking forward to starting my training plan today.

• Unfortunately, the People’s Church run was cancelled because the city issued a freezing rain warning.
• Unfortunately, I was expecting to do an abs class and a spin class after work but those got cancelled too.
• Unfortunately, a colleague offered to run on the dreadmill with me and I agreed because I didn’t think anyone was going to run outside. Turns out both Tracey and Bridget were willing to brave the weather for a proper run outside.
• Unfortunately, I still ran 30 minutes on the dreadmill since I already agreed to run with my colleague.
• Fortunately, after the longest 30 minutes of my life, I was able to go home, change, and meet Tracey and Bridget for Round 2.
• Fortunately, the freezing rain didn’t happen while we were running and I got my first Tempo run in!

My plan was to do a 20 minute tempo run. I guess I did it but next time, I’ll slow down the warm up and cool down even more so there is more of a difference. I will more gradually work up to 40 minutes.

Oh, and I got invited as a Nuun Ambassador too! Go #teamnuun!
