Running math:(300m+200m+100m) x 4 = one tough workout!

On June 13, 2018June 13, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn TrainingLeave a comment

Today's interval workout was hard! I thought I was done after 3 sets but then Jim told us to do another set. 😒 I was already dying at the end of the 3rd set so after the 4th set, I was really dead. Then we still had to run back to the store via the …

Oops I did it again

On June 11, 2018June 12, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn TrainingLeave a comment

Amy organized a post-run potluck BBQ for the Monday night People's Church #findyourfit walk/run group. We started at 6:45pm and had to be back by 7:30pm for the food, so I decided to only do 1 loop at a tempo pace. Priorities! Felt really good to do the tempo pace, especially with Dave chasing me. …

Running solo

On June 10, 2018June 11, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn Training3 Comments

I did it! I ran by myself for 26km! Ever since we booked our camping trip a few months ago, I started worrying about this weekend. I knew I had to run 26km as part of my marathon training plan but I wasn't sure how I would be able to run it all by myself …

Test driving the Garmin 235

On June 8, 2018June 8, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn Fueling, Gear, TrainingLeave a comment

First time using my Garmin 235 yesterday. Took it out for an easy 12k through the cemetery. My pace was slower than I expected (6:27) but I don't know if that was because of the watch or because I was running with Rishi. It seems to take a longer time (vs my phone) for the …

Happy Global Running Day

On June 6, 2018June 7, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn Motivation, TrainingLeave a comment

After 8+ months of running on Wednesday nights, you would think I should be able to remember to bring all the stuff that I need for the run to work. Not so much. I keep on forgetting different things which is kind of funny. Today, I forgot to bring my running shorts. Good thing I …

Firsts

On June 2, 2018June 2, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn Fueling, Training2 Comments

I had a lot of firsts today: For the first time, I did a pre-run before the MEC Ninja run. Thankfully, Lisa came to run with me before she went biking. We ended up doing 7.5km together in under 45 minutes - great pace! For the first time, I baked a banana bread to share …

Another group shower

On May 31, 2018May 31, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn TrainingLeave a comment

It started out with nice weather. Then we got caught in what felt like a tropical rain storm. You know, the ones where it rains really hard for about 15 minutes and then stops. It happened twice. Our shoes were squishy. Squishy shoes are never good. We ran up and down the Green Monster again. …

Feeling hot hot hot

On May 30, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn TrainingLeave a comment

Tonight's run was HOT. We did pyramid intervals again. This time, it was 200m-400m-600m-400m-200m. At the end, while we were waiting for the rest of the group to come back, Jim made us do another 200m. When everyone came back, he told us to do the last 600m fast-slow-fast. Of course, whatever he tells us …

Beginners run/walk

On May 28, 2018 By @joysofrunningIn TrainingLeave a comment

I am sore today. My quads hurt when I roll them and my big toes and pinky toes all hurt. Why do I run again?? I've been trying to recruit new people to join us for the Monday night run/walk at The People's Church. Despite the heat and humidity, one mom from the group came …
