Good morning all!
Good, tough workout of slippery roads this morning. 13K with 4K at what was supposed to be marathon pace, but my training partner pushed it to slightly faster than 1/2 marathon pace!

Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
Re: Tempo Thursday
Wow Erin - I don't know how you do this speedwork in such conditions! I stuck to the TM for a fitness workout.
10K with:
10 Min warmup
6X 3 min@ 8.0, 2 min@ 6.0
10 min @ RP - 6.6 mph
cool down
10K in 55 min.
Did some stretching and strength after.
Wow, been a while since I've done real speed intervals!
Tomorrow is a rest day!

9km this morning. Thankfully the sidewalks were pretty clear, roads still slippy.

Re: Tempo Thursday
After running Tuesday night, 7 miles yesterday morning and 10 km yesterday evening, no running today! 20 minutes on the elliptical followed by some upper body weights and core work. Just need to get through today at the office and then off until January 2, so pretty busy. Tonight will be a workout of sorts - non-stop laundry, cleaning and getting the house ready for the catsitter(s). The plan is to run 10 km tomorrow evening so I'm hoping to sleep in just a bit tomorrow.

Re: Tempo Thursday
First run in 3 weeks! (knee grief). Very slow and easy, mostly slow.
next up:
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

Re: Tempo Thursday
In the absence of rain or snow it looks like we will be running to our annual hot tub run/Christmas dinner. I think our group has gotten too large for the hot tub but food and wine will definitely be consumed.
Barring any last minute wimping out the run will be 8 k.

Re: Tempo Thursday
Still a little slippery-looking out, although much warmer, so I went up to the treadmill again. Thought I would get to watch some poker on the TV, but they spent so much time on the introductory blah blah, I was done my run before they even played one hand. Oh well, still got my exercise.

Re: Tempo Thursday
took a day off running, as C finally got up a bit later (6:30...ha!). Instead, we did some squats/lunges/planks/weights. Not much but better than nothing!

Re: Tempo Thursday
a touch over 6 miles tonight with runpub. This always ends up being my fastest run of the week because it's flat and paved and I'm running with people who are faster than I am. It's good for me but it's tough!
Then we decided to skip on our usual pub and popped over to my neighbourhood pub instead. Yummy yam fries!!
