May 4, 2011 108 days to go.
I can see why its best to get the run in before the day gets going. Otherwise the rest of the day is spent trying to figure out when to fit it in and often as not, it doesn't happen.
Today, I got out for my speedwork after lunch. Had done some deliveries and the last one took me close to home so took advantage of the situation.Went to the seawalk.10 minutes warmup, 1 km 5:57, 3 minutes recovery, 1 km 6:02, more recovery walking and running. I was out altogether for about 40 minutes.
Just got in the door, the phone rang and I was needed at work immediately. Drove my sweaty self down - still in shorts, top, running shoes. Ended my work day with a lab coat over my running gear - firstly for warmth and secondly for an attempt to look a little more professional.
Still working with a metronome to keep a steady pace. It seems when I am running easy the pace is too fast then when I am running fast, the pace is too slow. Right now I am working on 80 beats a minute.
Concentrated on my footstrike too. If I land on the ridge on the bottom of my shoes, it really does propel me forward and the footstrike seems lighter. My weight is an issue with my "lightfootedness". I am still 160 lb and I haven't gotten into a routine or plan on how to rectify that.
Will get to bed early tonight to get my run in first thing tomorrow morning.
