Recovery Run #1
I did my first run after the marathon yesterday and it felt really good. I ran 6 miles at under 15 minute pace. (Approx 14:40 using the Cool Running Pace Calculator)
I can't get to my garmin data and there has been a delay in posting the Disney pictures... why you may ask? Merry Christmas to us, Kenny is building us a new computer tomorrow. I figured it didn't make sense to put a whole bunch of information on a computer that is going to be replaced in a few days. So I promise lots of good pics coming as soon as we get the new computer up and running.
So since I can't post cool stuff... I will talk about other cool things. I know I have already talked about it a bit in my new years goals but let me officially make the announcement...
I am taking a Triathlon class this spring!!!!
I have registered for a semester long Triathlon class and I am so pumped. So far we have worked on swimming and apparently I am a bit better than I thought I was. This past tuesday was our swim assessment. I need to work on long strokes instead of short ones like me. On Thursday we swam 700 meters of various drills. I am loving this class. So in addition to my running you will be getting triathlon updates. Have no fear though... I have already registered for other long distance running events (with a calendar planned out to 2010 of mainly half marathons) so I will be in the running game.
The goal for this week is to swim at least twice (minimum of 700 meters each), run 12 miles, catch zumba and belly dancing and possible do some weight training.
Until then I leave you with this gem that a friend of mine captured at the Disney Expo. I met Jeff Galloway!
(I love this picture... I look happy and skinny!)
