Fartlek Run. ~10 miles easy w/30 sec. @ 5K pace every 3 min. Average pace: 9:30.

Weather at 6 am: 53°F, 27% humidity, wind 20 mph SW. It really was unseasonably warm but fairly windy this morning.

I was a little tired this morning because I did a new Jillian Michael's DVD called No More Trouble Zones last night. It's an hour long and is pretty tough.

This run was an exercise in 3 times tables. When my total time hit 3 minutes, 6 minutes, 9 minutes, and so on, I ran faster for 3 seconds. That only worked up to 60 minutes and then the total time doesn't show seconds any more, so I had to switch to lap time, which worked for about a minute and then the auto lap feature threw me off. So then I turned auto lap off and was okay for the rest of the run. But that little mixup is the reason I ran 10.23 instead of just 10.

I think I might have a friend to run with tomorrow.

Great workout! Especially if you were recovering from some strength work!

Nice run today! you are really getting some wonderful miles in!

I miss running with my friend... She is back to running a bit, but not ready for too much.

Your work-outs are so impressive and creative. I'm familiar with Fartlek's, but your implementation always seems like a twist.

Jun,

I don't think up the twists on my own. They're from a book called Run Faster by Brad Hudson.

So you run 7+ miles in the morning and then do an hour of strength work at night? Holy Cow! You're a mom, wife, full time employee, training for a marathon and apparently preparing to play Wonder Woman. What do you do with all you spare time?

Spare time? What's that? I'm not wonder woman. I just don't broadcast my deficiencies on this blog.
