March 1st – I Heart Mondays

March 1, 2010

I was expecting to still be sore after last week’s two-a-days and Saturday’s hike up Roxy Ann Peak but I woke up feeling great this morning.  My original plan was to start the week slowly but I felt good this morning so I headed for the gym.

I think the leg workout at the end of last week helped because I felt strong on the treadmill.   I started faster than last week, at 6mph, and ran for a mile before switching over to intervals.  This time I ran for three minutes and walked for one.  I completed a mile of intervals, ending with three minutes at 7mph.    I easily completed my two-mile goal this morning and could have run further.   I am hoping to keep this momentum as I head back to the gym this evening for another three miles.
