Doing Good.

I am doing pretty good following the workouts on the "run" training program that the Mini gives out. My body is certainly looking forward to Cross Train Monday. That's for sure. I have also learned that I think of my accomplishments in terms of miles. So it is hard to do this plan because it is based on slower speed and working for time. Not...how fast can you run 4 miles w/o falling over or getting an asthma attack...which is how I have been training. So, just a different mindset there. I think I am on track and pretty excited about things!

Casey and I went to Dicks and bought heart rate watches. I am really a fan, even though it is a touch bulky for my taste. I hope to get used to it. It is pretty neat to get an accurate reading and see the percent of your max heart rate right in the middle of your workout.

I have determined that my legs and running shorts are not friends. So the next time you see someone in spandex (who's semi fit and running a million miles) don't judge. I have come to grips with the fact that I will probably be running in compresion shorts for a really long time. I can't stand some of the pairs of running shorts I have and at least with the spandex, there is nothing to get in the way.

Off to work. Happy Cross Training Monday!
