If it hasn’t been obvious, I haven’t been doing any great runs lately. I am really loving CrossFit and have been dedicating most of my workout time to throwing around some weights and practicing some technique things. I try to fit in miles where I can but it’s not too high on my priority list. Also, the runs I have been doing haven’t been leaving me feeling overjoyed or like it was kick-ass.
This week was a busy one for me. But, that just means I am perfecting the task of multitasking.
2 nights this week while dinner was in the oven (yes, I cooked twice) I got some miles in on the treadmill. It required me to set the alarm on my phone so I wouldn’t lose track of time but it worked out well.
Both of these runs were good. They were both at a comfortable pace. 7 miles bouncing from 8:34 to 8:49 and 4 miles done as a progression…starting at 8:49 and finished the last 1/2 mile at 7:19 .
I am out of town this weekend- in Florida to be exact-which means I spent friday working then traveling. I planned to take friday as a rest day which meant I would hopefully get in a good, longer run Saturday morning. I came prepared with my garmin and woke up alarm-less around 6. Just as the sun was about to come up I laced up and headed out the door.
I knew for this run I wanted to go longer than I had been, I wanted to take it easy for the first half and even negative split if possible. I didn’t obsessively check my watch but when I did I was shooting for 8:25′s. I ran an out and back *to the beach 
* and decided on the way back I would run by feel, not what my watch says.
I am pleasantly surprised with how it went!
I am definitely stoked with this run. I felt amazing the entire time. I was worried I would be mega slow and not have the stamina to hit 10 miles. Shows you how awesome CrossFit is 
I am glad I hit double digits and I love love loved running in shorts and a tank. Makes me ready for spring!
I had some family things to tend to today but tomorrow I plan on getting my game face on like my favorite girl…
…. and we are heading out tomorrow to go stalk Mickey
What was the last run or workout you had that left you feeling amazing?
