I got up early for my workout this morning on the treadmill in Dave’s basement. First, I fueled up with some strawberry GU Chomps! I warmed up for a mile then did 3 repeats of 2 miles at 8 min pace. I did half a mike rest between each. I was supposed to go at my 10k pace but I went slower. Hopefully I can work my way up to the appropriate speeds so … [Continue reading]

But I LOVE pain!
January 25, 2011I realized this past weekend how much I love pain. Please don’t report me to a psychologist! I’m sure you will agree that you do too!
