Weekend Workouts

Workout Summary:

Friday = I am a wimp.
It was a sunny 30 degrees outside but I stayed inside and went for the treadmill
1 mile warm up
3.5 miles at 8:00 minute/mile pace
0.5 mile cool down

I had brought my ipod with my new headphones I got for Christmas and I have decided that I have a deformed left ear! The headphone thingie worked great in my right ear but it kept falling out of my left. So I was stuck with no music for my run and I had to stare at the people in front of me and judge them.

The one girl in front of me was going too fast and so she kept running at the very back of the treadmill. I was just waiting for her to fall flat on her face! The girl next to me decided she was a really fast runner and tried to out sprint me for the 5 minutes she was actually on the treadmill. And the boy who was off to the right in front of me had the treadmill set at 9.5 mph and was just jogging away! Seriously there are crazy people at my school!

I was really happy that I was able to maintain the 8 minute mile pace for oever 3 miles. It makes me feel like I can still run some mileage!

Saturday
6x200m warmup
2x200m sprint straight aways then jog curves
4x400m intervals at good pace
4x200m cool down

I ran on the older indoor track which happens to have inclines on the curves so basically I almost fell and tripped over myself every lap. Also during the first interval I felt a strange pain in my right hip. Nothing serious but it was just weird - I think because of the inclined curves!

400m intervals were at a decent pace even though I was running alone.

Sunday aka Today
Jumping in the pool with B-Rabbit and hopefully I will remember how to swim!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

Nice job on the pace for the 3 miler. That's great when you really don't focus on distance at the moment.

People watching on treadmills can get pretty addicting and you can spot some crazy stuff.

Good job with your weekend workouts.

haha I love watching the people do the ALL OUT SPRINT on the treadmill. As much as I would want to do that I am just waiting for them to fall right off it, so I am always prepared with my hand next to the emercency stop button incase they go down hehe. Good job on the workout!

Way to entertain yourself on your musicless run. Judging people while they workout is actually a full-time hobby of mine. :o)
