Sorry for the Salt 'N Peppa reference. Today was my first day back at school. I kept thinking to myself, "how am I going to keep up with my running schedule?". Well I got out of school and went straight to the gym. I did a class called Energizer CORE, which is 30 minutes of high-intensity abdominal workouts. It was really intense! Afterwards I got on the treadmill and ran 4km! It was definitely a workout where I was pushing myself really hard! I found that by running on the treadmill I ran faster and kept a more consistent pace, which felt good (but not as fun as running outside). I listened to some really good music, which was important because every time I started getting tired a new song would come on and "re-pump" me up (Mir- thanks for that new word!). The last 100 meters of my run I sprint as fast as I can. It's so hard to push for that extra time and run so fast, when I'm so tired, but it always feels so good! I don't know if I'll be able to keep running three times a week, with my current schedule, but if I'm not able to I'll run two days a week and try to run farther. I guess we'll just have to see what happens, but I really hope I can manage to run three times a week!
Music I listened to during the run: Believe by The Bravery, Gimme More by BRIT (MY RUNNING ANTHEM, gets some more spring in my step!), Life is Short, Butterfly Boucher (great, inspiring song), I'm Not Over by Carolina Liar, Viva La Vida (of course!), Saturday Morning by the Eels, Everybody Get Moving by Get Set Go, Do Somethin' BRIT again (great running song!).
Happy running!
