After another frustrating trip to wal-mart last night, sore calves from the vibrams, and general lack of self-discipline, I had all sorts of troubles getting myself out of bed this morning.

MR was getting ready and being noisy so I couldn't sleep, so I'm blaming him for me having to get up and run. 

My calves don't hurt when I run, but they're sore the rest of the time.  Kind of strange if you ask me, but it was nice to run and feel good.

I did a slower recovery run. Avg pace 9:35.  I've got plans for a new interval/cardio workout after work, and I'm really excited about it.

Maybe another 5K this Saturday, but it will be hilly and wayyyy more competition.  I'll be doing this one for fun!

Cardio/strengthening program was fun, less work than I'd figured so it leaves room to ramp up the intensity.

10 minutes warm up (5 walk, 5 jog), 30 second intervals of cardio then 30 seconds of walk/recovery for 10 minutes, 30 second intervals again but with strength activities (push up, plank, bird-dog, burpees) for 20 minutes.  We managed 4 sets on the strength intervals, then had a 10 minute cool down.

Enjoy the FUN 5K this weekend.

I say we get a can of gas and some matches....

Nice job getting out this morning, and I can't wait to hear about the fun this afternoon!!

GOOD recovery run. Can't wait to hear about the interval/cardio workout this PM.

I'm excited for your 5K this Sat. You've got the race bug! Have fun which I know you will, you always do! :)
